Understanding search panel views


The search panel provides different views of search results depending on the retrieved content types. This topic provides an overview of the different types of views and how they can be used.

List view

List view displays the retrieved assets as a list with columns of fields. This view is available for all content types. The following illustration is an example of list view.

Mixed view

Mixed view is a combination of list and grid views. The assets with a preview appear in the grid, and other assets appear in the list. The following illustration is an example of a mixed view with images in a grid and authors in a list.

Taxonomy view

Taxonomy view is a view that makes it easier to view a large number of tags or sections. Assets appear in a hierarchical view, allowing you to dig further down and understand any relationships. The following illustration is an example of a taxonomy view with tags:

Board view

Board view groups results by a field. For example, you can view articles grouped by section or assignments grouped by editor. The following illustration is an example of board view with articles grouped by section.
