Utilizing swift discover queries

You can employ any word from your current classes or page titles as a swift discover query. You can also utilize specific names for:

• An element (e.g., slider, map, button, etc.)
• An asset or the extension of an asset (e.g., .png, .svg, etc.)
• A page
• A Collection page (like the title of a blog post)
• A Logic flow

Swift discover showcases the outcomes for your query in the All results tab. Results are filtered and categorized under distinct tabs based on their type (e.g., elements, components, assets, etc.). You can tailor the searcher to incorporate or exclude any of these types.

Pro tip: You can navigate results of the same type using the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard. Additionally, you can press Tab or Shift + Tab to swiftly switch between the tabs.

Note: Swift discover showcases the top 50 outcomes for a given query. You may need to refine your query to pinpoint the item you seek.

Utilizing swift discover operations
