Reusing Recent Search Terms

Reusing recent search terms lets you more quickly search for resources, services, documentation, or Marketplace listings by running a recent free text search again.

1. In the top navigation bar, click Search resources, services, documentation, and Marketplace.

2. Under Recent searches, click one of five recent search terms. (Recent searches only include the five most recent free text searches, not advanced searches that use the structured query language.)

3. Under one of the categories of search results, click a result. (To see all results on a full page instead, click View all next to the category name.)

4. (Optional) In full page view, the list shows results with the best matches at the beginning of the list. However, you can also do the following:

   • If you chose the Resources category, you can sort results, expand individual results to see the matching text, or you can filter results. To sort results, see Sorting Resource Search Results. To filter results, see Filtering Resource Search Results.
   • For the Services category, you can only sort or filter results. To sort results, see Sorting Service Search Results. To filter results, see Filtering Service Search Results.
   • Similarly, for the Documentation category, you can only sort or filter results. To sort results, see Sorting Documentation Search Results. To filter results, see Filtering Documentation Search Results.

   For any category, filter options only include resource types, service groups, or documentation presented in the full list of results.

Results are eventually consistent, but might not immediately include resources that you created very recently.

If you do not see the results that you expect, you can change to a different region (if searching for a resource), change to a different language (if searching for a service or documentation), view a different category of search results, or edit your search terms. For a documentation search, if a free text search doesn't produce the content results you expect, you might try a plural or singular form of one or more search terms or a different, supported language. If searching for a resource, you can also refine your search with a query by clicking Advanced Resource Query. Then, follow the instructions in Running a Custom, Free-Form Query or Running a Sample Query.
