Search for items in Horizon
You can use the Search field in any screen in Horizon to search for items. You can see the results for all types of items or you can filter the results to see only pages, content items, or media items.

For example, you can search for:
-
Item name
-
Item ID

Item path
-
Data used in an item such as text in a text field, a template name, or media file name.
