One of the ways that you can find discussions is via
SharePoint 2013 search. On any community site (or from many other types
of SharePoint sites) you can search all conversations to which you
currently have access. Using search, you can find discussions and
communities that you might not have known existed. This is one of
SharePoint’s most powerful features because you can discover content
without requiring explicit advertisement or communication to the
end-user community. Many organizations are exploring this functionality
as the first steps toward informal, self-guided learning that could
eventually replace formal eLearning classes for many job functions.
-
In the upper-right corner of the community site (and most other site
templates), click the drop-down arrow on the right end of the Search
box, next to the Search button (the magnifying-glass icon). -
On the menu that appears, click Conversations. -
Enter the text of your query and click the Search button to start your query.
Tip
The ability to search specifically on conversations might be limited
based on the administrative settings within your site collection and
your SharePoint farm. Contact your IT staff if you are unable to search
conversations to determine if this is possible at all within your
organization.
-
Within the search results, you can hover the mouse over each
conversation to display a ScreenTip that contains more detail on a
discussion and associated replies. -
Within the search results, you can filter returned results further
by using the refinement options on the left side of the search results.
