Mighty’s search tool helps you quickly find the content, members, and Spaces you’re looking for. It scans your Network based on where you search and the filters you apply, making it easy to discover relevant posts, Events, members, and more.
Global Search vs. Space Search
Global Search
Global Search scans content across your entire Mighty Network, including:
All Spaces you’re a member of
Spaces you’re not a member of (Spaces set to Anyone Can See Content Inside)
This allows you to find information from across your Network in one place.
Space Search
Space Search looks only within a specific Space. When you’re using Space Search, you’ll see a Space: [Space Name] filter under the search bar. This helps you narrow results to a single Space without content from elsewhere in your Network.
How to Use the Search Bar
Start typing into the search bar and results will automatically populate. You can then sort by:
Top
Newest
Oldest
You can also refine your results using filters such as:
Space
Everything
Members
Posts
Your Activity
Near You
Events
Comments
Custom field
These filters help you quickly find the most relevant content.
Types of Searches
Plaintext Search
Use any word or phrase without a hashtag. Mighty will return content containing matches or partial matches.
Examples:
“running team”
“Michael”
“Thursday brunch”
Hashtag Exact-Match Search
Search for a single hashtag to get results containing that exact hashtag.
Examples:
#resources
#news
#Marathon2025
Combined Search
Use hashtags and text together to narrow results.
Example: #marathon Boston returns posts tagged #marathon that also include “Boston.”
Search Scenarios and Examples
Search for a single hashtag:
#dog → Content tagged with #dogSearch for a hashtag + text:
#dog poodle → Posts tagged with #dog that also include “poodle”Search for multiple hashtags:
#dog #cat → Posts containing both hashtagsSearch for text only:
dogs → Fuzzy matches, such as “dogs,” “dogsAreTheBest,” or posts with #dogs
How Mighty Orders Results
Search results are ranked so the most helpful content appears first. Mighty prioritizes results in this order:
Space name matches
Active Spaces (more members and recent activity)
Your Spaces (Spaces you created or belong to)
Member name/username matches
Post matches
Comment matches
This ranking ensures you see the most relevant Spaces, members, and posts before lower-priority matches.
By understanding how search works, you can quickly find what you need and help keep your Network organized for easy discovery.
