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! :)

Hey! 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.

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

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!
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.

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!

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.

Justin Hunter: Feedback for UX: I'd intuitively expect the search at top right.

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! 💪

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!!! :)
