- a processor configured to;
receive at a content management system that is organized by content item type a search query using a content type data to request one or more content items;
determine a set of external content sources to search based at least on the search query and the content type data, wherein the external content sources are not natively configured to provide content type data for content items, wherein the set of external content sources are different types of external content sources that require different translations of the search query into a tailored request for each external content source;
search in the determined set of external content sources that are not natively configured to provide content type data for content items;
receive at the content management system a result associated with the search query from each of the determined set of external content sources not natively configured to provide content type data for content items;
associate a content type with a content item included in the result based at least in part on an information associated with the result; and
provide the result associated with the search query of the external content source; and
