The Content Collection View block is where content collections come to life. As pictured below, this block provides robust search and filtering capabilities across all the items in your content collection at blazingly fast speeds. Out of the box this block is not applied to any pages.

Universal Search
For those who are curious about how things work under the hood, the Content Collection View block utilizes the Universal Search feature. This allows for powerful searches at super-fast speeds.

We already mentioned a couple of the settings for this block. Now let's take a detailed look at the other available options. You can change or completely disable different parts of the block, allowing you to customize how it works according to what makes the most sense for your content collection. For instance, if the full-text search wouldn't be as useful because your content is all audio/video then you can simply turn it off.

Content Collection Security
Content collections index, store, and display items without regard to their individual security settings. Ignoring security helps greatly with performance, however it can make restricted content accessible to people or groups who wouldn't have access elsewhere in Rock.
