For example: find whiteboards that contain the phrase "Error 53392" but that phrase is not in the whiteboard's title.

Hi @Michael Robinson 

 

Search will look at text in a whiteboard.

I tested by adding text to a whiteboard. Then searching for it.

Interesting... In my company's instance, searching for "Cookies" finds all instances EXCEPT whiteboards.  

I also do not see the selection criteria drop-downs in the search results...

@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM Thanks - your screen-shot helped!!!

Now I see that the LEFT navigator search is NOT the one I need. Instead, I should use the one at the top of the screen, and activate the filters to assist with narrowing search criteria.

That search feature does find my whiteboard with the content I'm seeking!
