Search function in Rise

Search is very important for my learners too, but it is broken in the Overlay navigation menu in Rise. If you choose Overlay, the Search button just brings up a big search field in the middle of the screen but does not display any search results. Overlay is quite important for accessibility because there appears to be a bug in zooming when using Sidebar navigation: 

• Storyline blocks scale normally up to 175%
• At 200%, the Storyline block shrinks to make room for the enlarged sidebar
• At 250%, the sidebar auto-collapses, and the block resizes correctly again

Because WCAG 2.2 1.4.4 specifies a requirement for 200% zoom, this behaviour represents a technical failure of the criterion when using Sidebar navigation. In contrast, using the Overlay navigation avoids this issue entirely.

Hello JuliaJochim​, 

Thanks for reaching out! I want to confirm that learners can find information in your Rise 360 course by using the search field in the sidebar. 

Here are the steps to make sure it's enabled:

1. Open your course in Rise 360.
2. Go to the Theme tab at the top of the screen.
3. Click on Navigation in the left sidebar.
4. Find the Search option and toggle it to On.

• Here's a quick visual of this in action! 

 

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
