Search results cards

This section includes information about the new Fuse search. If you are currently using Fuse's legacy search, see Legacy search.

Each item of content returned in the search results is represented as a card. Clicking on a card takes you to that particular item, where you can view it in further detail. Each card has an icon in the top-left corner indicating the item type, and displays any information that is relevant to that item type.

 Information is only displayed on search results cards if it is available.

For example, an article card displays the Article icon, thumbnail, description, creation date, read time, author's name, and social information such as the number of views, likes, comments and shares the article has received.
 

The following item cards appear in Fuse search results:
