My Content searches
When users choose to search only the content that is related to them, the behavior of the My Content search feature varies across each of the different apps.
Search options
The following content is returned when users select the Search MY content option on the Advanced Search page:| App | Content that is returned |
|---|---|
| Activities | All activities that the user is a member of, including activities that are contained by communities to which the user belongs. Public activities are not returned unless the user explicitly joins them but authored entries in a public activity are returned. Files added to an activity that were uploaded by the user or shared with the user are also returned. |

apps. Also, content that was created by users in a community that they are no longer members of.
