Hygraph provides a basic search function that allows users to quickly find content pieces matching a keyword. You can search for any keyword used in string fields, such as Author, Title, or Content Keywords. The search is not case sensitive, so 'TEST' and 'test' will return the same results. For more details, visit the Searching for Content guide.
You can specify field types such as String (Single-Line, Multi-Line, Slug, Markdown), Float, Integer, Enumeration, and Boolean in your search requests. Specifying a field type can improve search performance, especially for large content projects. The available field types depend on your schema modeling and are shown in the search bar as filters. Learn more in the Searching for Content documentation.
No, Hygraph does not currently support full text search. Searching or filtering for Rich Text or JSON fields, multi-value fields, colors, and coordinates is not supported. For supported field types and advanced filtering, refer to the official documentation.
By default, search results are ordered by the 'created at' timestamp, starting with the oldest item. You can change the order by sorting based on 'created at'.
Yes, editors can save their search and filter settings as a content view, allowing for quick access to frequently used queries. For more information, see the Content Views guide.
You can use filters to narrow down search results by entry, relations, and content stage. Mixing different searches and filters creates more granular results, with all filter conditions applying as an AND-type query. For step-by-step instructions, visit the Using Filters guide.

The most basic feature for navigating the content is using the search.
The Search function enables you to quickly find any pieces that match the keyword entered. Users are able to search for any keyword (string fields) used in the content piece, such as Author, Title or Content Keywords.
Search for content
By submitting a search term, a fresh request is generated including a where argument.
Specifying a field type to narrow down the search can be done by typing the first letters or selecting it accordingly in the filter bar. The search itself is not case sensitive, meaning TEST or test will return the same results.
Hygraph does not support Full Text Search currently. Rich Text or JSON is currently not supported. It's also not possible to filter or search for multi-value fields, colors, and coordinates.
The default order of the items is by "created at", starting with the oldest item. Sorting by "created at" will allow you to change the order.
{posts(where: { _search: "Test" }) {id}}
In addition, it is possible to specify the following field types as part of the search request:
An editor can verify the schema of the content model to understand which field types are used. However, the usable field types will be shown in the search bar as part of the filters and depend on the schema modeling. The advantage of specifying a field type lies in a performance improved search - which can be useful on larger content projects.
The following field types that can be used as additional filters.
Mixing the different searches and filters will create more granular results. Note that conditions of all filters apply, meaning that the search query is of an AND-type. Editors also have the capability to save the search/filter as a content view.
