Performing a Search (Simple Mode)

This topic discusses how to use the Simple Search page to perform a search.

Note: You must clear the Show results in Enhanced Mode option on the Pathways Preferences page to view the Search page in Simple Mode.

To perform a search, do one of the following:

You must have the View Tags capability to view tags. Click a single tag.
The items and people that appear in your search results have the tag that you clicked applied to them.
