contentID: String: Returns the content ID against which the search results apply.

deepestCommonFolder: Folder (read-only): Returns the deepest common folder of all content assets in the search result.

filteredByFolder: Boolean: The method returns true, if the content search result is filtered by the folder and it is not subsequently possible to search for content assets that belong to no folder (e.g. those for Page Designer).

folder: Folder (read-only): Returns the folder against which the search results apply.

pageMetaTags: Array (read-only)

Returns all page meta tags, defined for this instance for which content can be generated.

The meta tag content is generated based on the content listing page meta tag context and rules. The rules are obtained from the current folder context or inherited from the parent folder, up to the root folder.
