The CMT manages different kind of content: wiki pages, bookmarks, files, forums (also called group discussion), group news, group events...

If you know some key words in your content, try a search by content text (through a search box). The search can be restrictive to a specific content type or to a group owner (through the "Search in this group" box).

If you know a content tag, look for your information through your profile with the widget "content by tag".
