Post search lets you find any post across your council without having to scroll through the full list. Results show the matched text highlighted in context alongside the post date and author.

Searching for Posts

Step 1: Open the Search Page

From the Posts Overview page, click Search Posts.

Step 2: Enter a Search Term

Type any word or phrase into the search box and click Search. The search matches against post titles, body content, author names, and image alt text — all case-insensitively.

Tips

  • Partial words work — searching “break” will match “breakfast”
  • Body text is searched — the full post content is searched, not just the title
  • Results are sorted newest first — the most recently created posts appear at the top
