Search functionality

[aegauthier]

Hi -

I wanted to ask about being able to search a whole chapter (i.e. child pages, etc.) - I wanted to search a chapter for something, but I could only do it page by page which was enormously inefficient so I went back to the Word version to do it. It was also chapter 6 - the baddest one of them all : ) - so just wanted to ask about that.

Thanks - Aimee

Hi!

This is something we're looking into!
(we've been discussing this with @thaiscmlima)

In the mean time, here are the workarounds we've been using:

• Google search with a site filter; e.g.
  limited stop services site:brtguide.itdp.org
• GitHub search through the manuscript files in the repository, using a extension filter; e.g.
  limited stop services extension:manu
• Local search through the manuscript files (this requires a local copy of the repository)

P.S. ~We'll soon add a~ We've since added some configurations to prevent branches other than master and internal files from appearing in the search results. This ~will (soon propagate fully and) eliminate~ eliminates the need for /branch/master/guide in the site filter).
