Narrowing your search results

You can refine your searches by using specific fields in your search string. These fields include:

• description—item description field, for example, description:Portland finds all items with the term Portand in the description.
• group—the ID of the group, for example, group:1d1f24e8556642f49448f1c88b5a571b returns all content from the ESRI Maps and Data group.
• owner—owner of the item, for example, owner:esri returns all content published by ESRI.
• tags—tag field, for example, tags:"San Francisco" returns items tagged with the term San Francisco.
• title—title of the item, for example, title:"World Imagery" returns items with World Imagery in the title.
• type—item type such as "map", "map_mxd", "layer package", and "layer_nmf", for example, type:map returns items with map as the type, such as map documents and map services. This field is pre-defined by the ArcGIS Online index; it cannot be set or modified by the owner of the item.

TIP:

• When doing a field search, use a colon (:) after the field name, for example, owner:esri.
• For more search tips, see Searching for content.

Building a search string

You can build a search string by linking fields together in your search string with the AND operator, for example, owner:esri type:"map document" tags:streets
