Searching for Flows

You can search for a flow within a single entry point, or across all entry points that you are a member of. Both searches will find flows where the word you are looking for is either in the flow title or within the flow. 

Search within an entry point

  1. On the lefthand side, select the entry point you want to search.

  2. Click in the search bar under Flows and enter a word to search for.

    As soon as you enter at least two letters, the system will start to look for flow title matches. It matches only on the beginning of the word, so "tal" would match on "talent" but not "total" within the flow title. However, as soon as a recognized word is entered in the search term, the system will expand the search to include content within the flows. This is why you see a different response between "financ" and "finance": the term "finance" expands the scope to the context.

    ProcedureFlow will return a list of search results containing that word. If the word is in the flow title, it will be bolded.

  3. Click on a flow title in the search results to go to that flow.

There is no search results page with this type of search; the intent is to allow you to quickly jump to a flow.

Search across your entry points

  1. In the Search all flows search box at the top right of the screen enter the word to search for, then press Enter.
  2. You will see a list of search results from all entry points where that word has been found.
  3. Click one of the results to enter the entry point and flow where the word is located.

Additional notes on how search works

  • Flow title results are weighted much higher than content results.
  • We do not do keyword search as this could lead to a huge result list that is difficult to order in a way that is helpful to you
  • To keep the search function simple, we do not support operators ("and" , "not", etc.).
