Finding Almost Anything

A robust set of filters has been created to search through almost all content on Grinnell's site at http://www.grinnell.edu/allnodes.  The page includes instructions on how to use the complicated filters provided to help find information.  These filters include: Title, Content Type, Revision Date, Editor, and Author.

You can get to this page by selecting Find a Node in the editor menu that appears when you are logged in.

Finding Images

Because images have some different fields, you can search from them on http://www.grinnell.edu/allnodes (limit search to "Image" content types) or on a page specifically for images.  Your interface depends on your permission so we can't link to it.  To get to the Image search:

  1. Click "My Account" in the "Site Manager" menu (below the normal site menu).
  2. Click the "Images" tab.

Finding Documents/Files

Similar to finding images, a search specifically for documents was created.  You can either use http://www.grinnell.edu/allnodes and limit the search to the "File" content type or on the File search interface.  Your interface depends on your permission so we can't link to it.  To get to the File search:

  1. Click "My Account" in the "Site Manager" menu (below the normal site menu).
  2. Click the "Files" tab.

Finding Faculty or Staff

To find any Faculty or Staff member for whom a Person node has been made, go to "grinnell.edu/faculty" (we know, the URL isn't really descriptive) and use your browser's search function to find their name. Clicking on their name will take you to their profile and—by looking at the menu, URL, and breadcrumbs—tell you where that node is located in the menu structure.
