# 1.1. How to search and browse the published items (information):

The guest users are permitted to search and browse the registered items in the public area.

A list will be displayed by clicking on an item type (ex. "Binders", "model" as described) at the "Index Tree".

"XooNIps Search" is for searching items by item type or metadata.

On a "Listing item" screen, the order of the listed items can be changed by the pulldown menu at "Order by". The conditions vary with the item types.
