Storyline search feature

Hi there Dave!

The Storyline search feature is dependent on the Menu display. By default, your menu shows as a sidebar, but did you know that you can move this and create it as a tab instead? Since this would move the entire menu to a tab, it may not be an option for you - but it could be something to consider if you'd like to only show the search function on demand. 

You can read more about player features here.

If you still need something custom, hopefully some of our community members can chime in with suggestions.

Thanks and good luck on the project!

Hi

I do have the "search" function in the full menu, but could this function be copied onto some slides too, as this might feel more intuitive to a casual user

Hey Philippe,

I submitted this feature request to our team on your behalf :)

Thanks ! They are going to get tired of me !

I am back to SL3 after months of traveling: this is a fun program!

No way Philippe :)

Glad you are enjoying it and I hope travel was good to you!

Hello! You can build a custom search engine within the slides in Storyline through using JavaScript. Read about it in my discussion here. 

Hope this helps!

Any news about this function? Was is added? I need to search an entire course of many many slides for a particular word that was misspelled by a colleague that is gone now. Can I locate that word somehow using a Search function on the entire course instead of reading the entire course slide by slide and word by word? Hopefully this was implemented as it's been 2 years since requested. Please let me know. Thanks Stef

Hi Stefaniada,

Do you have access to the source file, or do you only have the published format? If you have the source file, you can use the Find/Replace feature in Storyline under the Home tab.

This will help you search any text in the course and correct the spelling!

I do, wonderful! Thanks a lot, Ren! Stef

I think we still need a search feature built into Storyline that can find a word and take the learner to that slide.
