## Search by the title, body, or comments

With the `in` qualifier you can restrict your search for discussions to the title, body, or comments. You can also combine qualifiers to search a combination of title, body, or comments. When you omit the `in` qualifier, {% data variables.product.product_name %} searches the title, body, and comments.
