# What's New in CTERA Portal End User Version 8.4.x

## Advanced Search

CTERA Portal Search lets users quickly find any file they’re authorized to access across the Global File System, with a dedicated search index, tiered licensing (from basic filename search to full-text and AI-powered queries), and an advanced metadata-driven search UI for precise, large-scale discovery.

**Note**

CTERA Content Services is required to use the advanced search.

## Archiving Content

When the portal is licensed for archiving content to secondary storage, the end user view includes an **Archive Vaults** option. An end user defined with the **Archive Operator** role can move data to an archive cloud folder or restore from that folder.
