       3. To search specially for KBs, click on the 'Filter by Content Type' drop down on the left hand side and select Knowledge Base

        (By default, it searches all self service including knowledge articles, communities, documentation)

      4. Note: You can also search from google, adding the following to your search string will help narrow this down to Clarity related KBs:

     Tips:

1. Search using multiple keywords as well as error messages from UI, developer tools and logs
2. Add Clarity into search criteria to help narrow down search
3. May need to search on both abbreviations and full words:
   1. Examples:
      1. For Load DWH, may have to search on “DWH” and “Data Warehouse”
      2. For New User Experience issues, search on multiple key words such as New UX, NUX, Modern UX
4. For issues specific to incremental versus full Load DWH, add incremental or full into search
5. See the following KB: Clarity Master KBs for frequently reported issues to help expedite searching
