Community Suggestion: Search feature to also check Historical Entries
Search feature to also check Historical Entries
Feature Upgrade · Timelines · Created by AdmiralWeeG

Currently the Search Feature only checks articles. This can be very frustrating when much of the detail for a Campaign is recorded in the Timelines / Historical Entries.
Follow up
I think you have misunderstood me. I'm referring to the Search text box that appears on the top left of any world page (just beneath the WorldAnvil logo and Community link). Text entered here only searches articles. For example, if you consider one of my first Historical entries... https://www.worldanvil.com/w/greyhaven-admiralweeg/h/5b0a761f-2169-446d-a1ba-03911f7b035c ...this has the word Athkatla in the Title, Short Description and Full Content. But when I use the Search text box to search for Athkatla in my world I only see one person, one article and two locations in the results. Please visit my world and repeat these steps to understand what I mean. Let me know if you need any more information from me. Thank you, Graham.
Sorry, just to follow up on my follow up. I didn't realise the search you were referring to was in the world Dashboard, I was using the World View. The Search in the sidebar of the World Dashboard does indeed find words in the Historical entry titles. It would be great if it could also find it in the Short Description and Full Content. I hope this request is clear. Please let me know if I can help explain it further. Cheers, Graham
The Team's Response
Thanks for your suggestion! This was indeed suggested and accepted in the past, but it was not forgotten—it's actually already implemented! The new search system looks through historical events too; use the magnifying glass in the sidebar (or Ctrl+K) to use it.

on 2024-04-02 23:05I already have an ACCEPTED feature request fo this from two years ago that never got implemented. Someone needs to point this out to the devs. I think it got forgotten. https://www.worldanvil.com/community/voting/suggestion/0179ed69-2c13-418a-a94d-bd62de87c4ff/view
