The Best Way to Find Information: Search

Our search bar is the most powerful tool for finding specific information.

  • Always double-check your spelling.
  • Search is based on keywords. For example, "audience data". Do not search with natural language. For example, "How do I add audience data?".
  • If you are looking for exact words, put them in quotes. For example, "screen inventory". Doing this also helps to ignore boolean operators, such as AND, OR, NEAR, NOT, and ( ).
  • Use the filter button in the search bar to narrow down your results to a particular area.
