What is content search? Content search is the process of querying the portal service to find users, groups, or different types of items such as maps, scenes, layers, files, services, or apps from templates and builders.
You can use content search to:
Search for public or private items. Find different types of items. Sort search results. Return pages of search results. How to search the portal To search for items , you make an HTTPS request to the portal service and use the search
operation. The search
operation supports a query string with fields, and operators, such as AND, OR, and NOT. You can perform an open search for text using the default fields or you can search for text in specific fields such as the title
, description
, or tags
. You can also specify a location to search near, or a bounding box to search in by defining the bbox
parameter.
The general steps to search for items are:
Define the URL to the portal service: https: //www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/search
. Provide the text for your search. For example, "Streets", or "Elevation level". Define the item type for your search. For example, Web Map
or Feature Service
. Set the sort order for your return results. Any additional fields, such as tags, date created, or last modified.
Search for different types of content items in the ArcGIS portal.

.
Query structure Here are a some of the general rules for formatting queries:
For an open search, specify the text at the beginning. e.g. q="streets"
To search specific fields, use a colon :
after the field name. Use double quotes "text"
around all search text. Capitalize all AND, OR, and NOT operators. Use ()
to group operators. Use the type:
field to define the type of items to return. e.g. type: Web Map
