Craft offers two ways to search, and it’s important to know the difference:
  • Global Search helps you find content across all your documents, spaces, and pages. Learn more
  • Document Search lets you find text within a specific document (and optionally its subpages).
This article focuses on using Document Search. You can open search from the left sidebar in Document View:
  • Click the magnifying glass icon (the last tab)
  • Or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + F
Document search panel in the sidebar

​
Search Options

Once the search panel opens, you’ll see several useful options. Search options and filters

​
Regular Find or Find & Replace

You can simply search for text within the document or use Find and Replace to update multiple matches in bulk.

​
Search Scope

Click the filter icon on the right to choose where you want to search:
  • This Document only – searches just the current document
  • This Document + Subpages – includes all subpages nested under it

​
Search Mode

You can choose between:
  • Simple text – standard keyword search
  • Regex – for advanced, pattern-based searches

​
Additional Filters

You’ll also find these toggles to refine your search results:
  • Match case – distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Ignore diacritics – treat accented and non-accented characters as the same
  • Include partial matches – find words that contain your search term
Document search in action Search results highlighted in the document

Tip: Regex is Really Powerful

Regex (short for regular expressions) lets you search using patterns instead of exact text. It’s perfect for more advanced find and replace operations. Example: If you’ve used #todo, #inprogress, and #done tags, and want to rename them all to #task, regex can do that in one go. Search for: 
#(todo|inprogress|done)
and simply replace with: 
#task
Regular expressions are incredibly powerful for pattern matching. Consider learning the basics to unlock advanced search capabilities.
