I am a user of Storyline 2, and I often look to re-use some basic template-style formats to speed my development time, such as being able to find a variety of attactive tabbed pages, progressive disclosure pages, and so forth that other members of the community have already designed - perhaps w/ differing numbers of tab/page elements available. I do not believe there is a search feature on the Articulate website, or E-Learning Heroes at this time. Is this something that could pretty easily be built into the site for future use, or is it available now and I just have not figured out how to access it? Thank you!
Thanks for your quick response, but I cannot find a magnifying glass anywhere on the Articulate website. This particular screen is from the Downloads page, where I would think it makes the most sense, but as you can see, no search icon here, or anywhere else that I can locate. Could this be related to some browser setting not being right?

Thanks for sending me the link to that search info. page. It confirms that the problem must be with my current browswer. Unfortunately, here at work we're still using Windows 7 with IE 11.0. The good news is that we'll be upgraded this spring. It's very encouraging to know that soon I'll be able to search for and locate just the right template for a given project when I need it, rather than having to create everything from scratch on my own. Thank you so much!
I will try your approach and see how that works. Thanks for the suggestion! Also, I will submit a Case with our IT folks, requesting that all functionality on the Articulate website be made available to my team.
Hi, Jeffrey -- In addition to the suggestions you have already been provided, I thought you might like to bookmark the following just so you have them handy:
Hope that helps! I also wanted to note that I saw above that your signature is displayed here publicly, (and that will happen if you have replied to a forum notification via email).

Thanks for the links and the important tip! I've already edited my one comment to remove the personal info.! The ELearning Heroes are a great benefit of choosing Articulate Storyline 2 as our authoring tool!!
It's not an "official" search engine - but it does the job. One of our Senior Support engineers created it during a Hackathon project so we've been able to keep it live as it's been so useful for other users and even staff! Glad it's helped you out Jeffrey and Wendy!
I also wanted to note that my go-to search tool is what Leslie shared, as well:
In the Google search bar, simply type "site:articulate.com" followed by whatever you are looking for and if there are results to be found, they'll be listed there! :)

There is a search feature in the top right corner (magnifying glass) I don't think it searches by interaction
Hi Phil,

Thanks again!

It is on the heroes website in the top right

Interesting Jeffrey. Have you tried in a different browser perhaps?
Here is some documentation on searching.

I just fired up my windows 7 VM and opened IE11 and the search works, I wonder if your admin has some policy that affects the search.
That certainly could be. Thanks Phil for testing this out on your system!
Hi Jeffrey! Sorry to hear that you have a limitation. Truthfully, I do most of my searching via Google and just specify the Articulate site.
For instance in the Google search bar I may use:
site:articulate.com template download
Hope that helps :)

Happy to help, Jeffrey, and thank you so much! I will be sure to share your kind words with the rest of the team. :)
Hi Wendy,
Good to know... I'll check it out! Didn't realize this search engine even existed!
I fell over it accidently Jeffrey but it works pretty good ;-)

Wow Christie just tried your suggestion - that is gold!
