Different types of search on HealthUnlocked

To help you find what you’re looking for while using the platform, we have developed two different types of search functions for you to use: Site-wide and community-specific.

Site-wide search

4. You will then be taken to the results page, where you will be given the option to filter the search by either posts, or communities.
5. Click your choice and scroll through until you find what are looking for
