Build Custom Search within Storyline using JavaScript
Using JavaScript, follow these instructions to add a Custom Search Engine to your course. In 2018, I shared this functionality via a 5 minute Spark Presentation at the Chicago eLearning & Technology...
Will this search within text fields that contain variables?
For example, I have text input field that writes to "TextEntry" variable.
I put that %TextEntry% into a textbox on a slide.
Would the search find the results within that textbox stored in the TextEntry variable?
The standard search functionality in the player will not. TYIA for the insights!
Hi David,
Thanks for reaching out with this question. Can you expand on your inquiry?
As I understand, from what you've written above, the user types an entry into a text entry field. Whatever they enter is assigned as the value of the TextEntry variable. You then have added a reference to that value on a slide.
Are you then asking if you add a second text entry field to act as the search entry, if that could also search for whatever term was entered into text entry field one?
