CMS uses Optimizely Graph as its default internal search engine, which lets you access the following default providers. You can turn off a provider to exempt it from a search. Relevant search results are moved when appropriate.

- **Block provider** – searches for CMS blocks
- **File provider** – searches for CMS documents
- **Page provider** – searches for CMS pages (including page content)
- **Jump to** – return menu items that [IMenuProvider](docId\:IISrUWCl3Ae9OTRl1oodT) defined
