On the Home Page (hub.freewheel.tv): Searching within the home page'sGlobal Search
Global search is a universal search bar located on the top right of every page within the Hub: Searching within this search bar opens a widget which provides advanced filtering options (please read below).
Without proper filtering, this global search bar will include search results for all content within the FreeWheel Hub which you have access to (including publicly available materials). FreeWheel does not recommend this approach for most users, who typically focus on a singular FreeWheel product.

Additional Resources
Searching Archived Materials
In an effort to clean up search results, we've moved older release notes to a Release Archive. By default, Release Notes that are older than a year old will no longer appear in global search results. The Release Notes will remain searchable by using the search bar located on the homepage of the archive.
