<div dir="ltr">For me, control-f searches whatever is visible on the screen (including stuff that would be visible if I scroll down). So if I open all the series and subseries so that I can see the list of components, control-f will search that list. If I want to search a big collection, I start opening the series from the bottom so that I don't have to wait for each series to open completely before I can click on the next one. If you have a lot of nesting, it can take a while to do this and it's easy to miss a subseries so that you are not searching whatever is in that one. For the most part, it works pretty well. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 2:09 PM, Tang, Lydia <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ltang5@lib.msu.edu" target="_blank">ltang5@lib.msu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thanks, Joan! I am not sure if that works on a Mac but that function would be handy. On a Mac, I can control F to find anything on the collection and series-levels, but anything further nested is a no-go for me, at least, that’s how it seems.<br>

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Voila! You can already search within a collection<br>
<div><div class="h5"><br>
Boy, do I feel dumb. I answered my own question from a couple of days ago. You CAN search within a collection, and it should have been the first thing I tried, but, of course, I didn’t.<br>
<br>
Ctrl-F, the old standby, works like a charm. A lovely extra search box appears, and you can type in a search term, and it will tell you how many instances appear within that collection, and hitting enter will take you to each instance. WONDERFUL!!<br>
<br>
Just thought I’d share.<br>

Sincerely,<br>
