Searching For and Replacing Links

The link library home page has a search bar in the top right corner which lets you carry out a quick search of links. You can enter a word or ID and press the enter key or click the search icon.

If you know the ID of the link you are looking for, clicking the "ID only" checkbox will only search for link IDs.

Alternatively, the link action panel has a link to "Search/replace links" which pretty much takes you to the same place (it's the results page, but has zero results because you haven't search for anything yet).

Once you've carried out a search you'll see a list of the links whose ID and/or text match your search. The search in iCM will look at the link's address, text and description.

For more information about searching and replacing in iCM, including search operators, using brackets and quotes, case sensitivity and how replace actually works, see Search and Replace in iCM.

Working with the Search Results#

The matching links can be worked on individually or using the bulk/grid editor. Right-click a listed link to display a menu of options that can be performed on it, including edit, delete, locate etc. 

You can also use the "edit" and "delete listed links" action panel options to load the displayed links into the grid editor.

Note that only the links listed will be loaded into the editor. There may be other links that match the search criteria, but won't be displayed because only fifty results can be displayed at once.
