Hey all! This is now complete and live for everyone! 🎉 We are tracking some enhancements to the experience here if you'd like to follow along: https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/searching-docs-should-open-the-page-and-scroll-down-to-the-matched-sentence-not

Justin Hunter: Hey Justin. What should we be seeing, here? I'm not seeing anything different myself.
Justin Hunter
Hey Guy Mannerings! Good to hear from you! Previously, searching only worked at the page title level. Now search works for the contents of the page. You may not have seen a change right now because you might have had access to this earlier than others. We have been slowly rolling it out for the last month.

Justin Hunter: Awesome!!! I tested and can confirm that the search is working great. It's also displaying the text of a button as a search result. GREAT!!! Thank you! :)

Philipp Döhrn: can you guys give me hand? i dont see this functionality at all. i see that i can open the doc, but then i have to use chrome search to find where the searched phrase is found in the doc? what am i doing wrong?
Justin Hunter
Philipp Döhrn: Love to hear that! Thanks so much for the comment.
Justin Hunter
momo: This functionality exists when you have more than one page or subpage within a Doc. If you only have one page, then the native browser search is what you should use. This specific functionality is solving for searching through multiple pages/subpages within a doc at once.

Please make it so it can search for multiple phrases at once and highlight them

If you have this, you can use ClickUp for a knowledge base or help center

Quick update on this item. We have released it and are testing it before opening up access to everyone! 🎉 I'll update here when we've updated access for all users.

Merged in a post:
Make Title of Buttons searchable!
Philipp Döhrn
The Search bar in a Doc is not finding the Title of a Button. We have a lot of Buttons that point to different URLs. If I use the Search Bar to search for a specific link the Search is not showing me the Page where the Button is located. It looks like it doesn't search the Title of the Button.
Example: Let's say we have a Button that's Title is "Google" and URL is google.com. This Button is located on Page "Links". If I open the Doc I'm on the Starting-Page of the Doc. Then go to the Search-Bar and search for Google. It doesn't show me the "Links" Page where the Button (that's Title is Google) is located.
Justin Hunter
Hey all, wanted to provide an update on this functionality. It's being tested and awaiting release. 🎉 A quick preview of the functionality is attached. 👀
We're exploring follow-up work that would help surface the actual text in the document after clicking on the document that is found to have the text. Would love everyone's feedback on that next initiative!
Bruce Cannon
Justin Hunter: Jumping to then highlighting the target text in the page would be very helpful! Also very helpful would be to, in the search results, show snippet with term highlighted, just like a web search engine does. Both in sidebar as in your animation, but also in all other search modalities across the system, results with snippets and highlights would allow us to parse all the results and select the relevant one, without having to jump back and forth and repeat the search a bunch of times, etc.
Julian Pustkuchen
Justin Hunter: Feedback for UX: I'd intuitively expect the search at top right.
Justin Hunter
Julian Pustkuchen: I'm with you. I think as follow on UX work, we'll need to get a search icon up there that open the full Doc Search functionality. This first pass was just using the existing search UI we had which originally just searched page title. We'll keep improving! 💪
Guy Mannerings
Justin Hunter: I would say searching for specific pages is still relevant on the left above the pages, but full search of everything could be separate.
Guy Mannerings
Bruce Cannon: Yes, snippets for reference would be useful.

Ivan Kanevski: wasn't this 'fixed' with the new search that just rolled out?
Ivan Kanevski
Stephanie Henry: We've supported search in doc content since Search V2 (which was over the summer).
But, most of the recent customer feedback has been that the search in the Doc sidebar only looks at titles. That's because it's not connected to Search.
We are now connecting that Doc sidebar search to Search V3. Once that's done and working great, I'll feel comfortable considering this done.
Philipp Döhrn
Ivan Kanevski: Thats awesome to hear, thank you! Will we also be able to search Titles of a Button?
Ivan Kanevski
Philipp Döhrn: Can you post a screenshot of what you want indexed? Just want to make sure I grok what you're referring to.
Philipp Döhrn
Ivan Kanevski: Yes, as you can see on the screenshot, we would like to search the title of a button. We search Employee. But the Page that has a Button (Title of the Button contains Employee) is not shown. I also opened a separate Feature Request maybe its a better explanation in that request its called "Make Title of Buttons searchable!". Thank you very much!!! :)
Ivan Kanevski
Philipp Döhrn: We did something like this for whiteboards, will make sure this works for docs as well.
Philipp Döhrn
Ivan Kanevski: Thank you sooo much!!!

This is a must for fully moving away from other docs and be able to integrate Clickup into our workflow a bit better

Just taking my tweet and posting it here - ClickUp is my place for notes these days. I used to hate documents, but now that is all I use. I don't like two things. I'm limited to 100 tags and you have to put the name in the title to search. I could have fewer documents if I were allowed to search within the document.
