secret search full-text

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

It is not possible to search the full text of secrets. I store lots of information in secrets that are attached to articles. These can be revealed to users as they are discovered. Currently, finding information I've stored in secrets (to reference as I continue building out a world) is very difficult.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

It would enable the full text of secrets to be searched, ideally from the global search functionality (at the very top-left of each page), thereby enabling the easy finding of information I've put into WorldAnvil.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

None that I can think of.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! We've added this for the next major update to maps (don't expect it soon, but it will come).

    As other people have said, as long as this is only available to editors or other roles that have access to see secrets. Don't want to players to search BBEG and have kindly old Mr. Jenkins pulled up for seemingly no reason.

    Yes, I agree it would need to be user access limited. I have players who use any advantage they can access secrets,

    This sounds like it'd be very useful to have. Easily finding things is a very important function for worldbuilders to have.

    Good idea. I assume, though, that you would only want those secrets revealed to people that you want to see them, which complicated the feature some.
