How do I search for Page Sets on PageSetCentral.com? (Search for a Page Set)

On all pages in our site, you will find the red/orange Search for Page Sets/Filters window. These fields allow you to perform a search within all the available Page Sets in the site.
In the standard search you can search for:
- Text within a page set's name/heading or description (Type “game”, for example, in the search window and all page sets with the word ‘game’ in the heading or description will be displayed).
Use the following Filters to focus or limit your search:
- Category – Choose from the different categories into which we have grouped all the Page Sets. The categories make it easier for you to find page sets with similar functionalities in one place.
- Language – The browser will be used worldwide, so language-specific Page Sets will have a language ‘tag’ attached to them. If you want to browse for language-specific Page Sets, select the language you require. If you find a page set you like in another language, you could download it and translate it yourself. – If you then upload your translated page you will have helped somebody else! Note that some Page Sets are without text and thus are not necessary to translate. The latest Language you searched for will automatically come up the next time you enter the site.
- Sort By - This is a quick way to find either the most popular Page Sets (downloaded most frequently) with the filter Popularity or the most recently addaed ones with the filter Date

They do not contain any navigation or sound. If you open a .smd file in Communicator you will be able to see the file but remember that it does not contain any actions.
- Tobii Communicator (.cdd files) is the communication software that allows you to add actions like sounds and links. These software files will be able to be run dynamically on the computer.

- Device – This filter focuses your search to Page Sets based on overlays for specific devices. In SymbolMate you can find templates for several static communication devices, such as the LEO. Page sets that are developed for devices will be labeled with the device name, so you easily can find pages that others have created for that device. If you have a device that does not have a template in SymbolMate, please let us know and we will try to create a template for you.
