Using Advanced Search Filters

After you enter a search term in the search bar, Confluence opens a search preview window. The quick filters in this window are limited; for Barracuda Campus documentation, use Advanced search at the bottom of the window to open the full search results page. From Advanced search, use the filters below to narrow your results.

The following filters are the most useful for finding content on Barracuda Campus:

Filter	What It Does	When to Use It

Filter	What It Does	When to Use It
Space	Narrows results to a specific product documentation space (e.g., Barracuda Backup, CloudGen Firewall).	When you know which product your question is about. This is the single most effective way to reduce noise in search results.
Last modified	Filters by when content was last updated (e.g., last 24 hours, last week, last month, last year).	Useful when you want the most current version of a document or need to find recently updated articles.
Search titles only	Limits results to pages where your search term appears in the title.	Helpful when you know the article name, product feature, or exact wording likely appears in the page title.

Less commonly used filters

The following filters are available in Confluence search but are generally not needed when browsing Barracuda Campus documentation:

Edited or created by – Campus content is maintained by the documentation team, so filtering by individual editors typically won't help narrow your search.
Type – Campus search results are primarily documentation pages, so filtering by content type usually is not needed.
Content under – Campus spaces are organized by product, so the Space filter is a more effective way to scope your results.
Labels – Labels are not consistently applied across Campus spaces, so this filter may not reliably narrow your search.
Verified – Content verification status is not tracked on Campus, so this filter won't affect your results.
Show archived content – Current product documentation is always published in the main spaces, so archived content rarely contains what you're looking for.

Search Tips and Tricks

Use exact phrases: Wrap your search in quotation marks to find an exact match. For example, searching "SSL VPN" returns only results with that exact phrase, not pages that mention SSL and VPN separately.
Start broad, then use the Space filter: Begin with a general keyword (e.g., backup), then use the Space filter in Advanced search to narrow results to the specific product. If you already know which product you need help with, applying the Space filter right away helps eliminate unrelated results.
Try alternative terms: If your first search doesn't return good results, try synonyms or related terms. For example, try replication instead of sync, or appliance instead of device.
Search by error message: If you're troubleshooting, paste the exact error message text into the search bar. Exact error strings often match directly to troubleshooting articles.
Check the page hierarchy: Once you find a relevant article, look at the page tree in the left sidebar; related articles are often grouped nearby under the same parent page.
