Fuse’s search engine seeks to provide the user with results that closely match the query they have entered. The search engine looks for words or phrases the user has searched for, in fields within the item of content, such as the content’s title, description, body, transcript or tags. In the example below, you can see that this article has a title, body, description and tags. So if the user searched for ‘works of charles dickens’, the search engine will look for these words within the title, body, description and tags fields in the article.
See the table below to see which fields are applicable to each content type.
In this table you can see which fields apply to each content type in Fuse:

Legend:
N/A means that the content type does not have that particular field. For example, Body is not applicable for videos as they do not have a body, they have a transcript instead.
** = The body or transcript of some uploaded file types is searchable. For example, the body of uploaded Word, PDF, and PPTX files can be searched by Fuse.
Notes:
Fuse can only search through a transcript if it exists in the video.
Video transcripts are searchable regardless of whether they were automatically generated or manually generated.
Automated transcription only occurs if this feature is enabled in your organisation’s Fuse instance. If it is not enabled, contact your Customer Success Consultant (CSC).
