Search my Notes with Google

#1

Post by Kpower13 »

I can use Google to search the Church website exclusively by using my search term followed by site:churchofjesuschrist.org. ( example if I want to search for prayer- prayer site:churchofjesuschrist.org )
Is there a URL to my Notebook so that I can search my Notebook content this way. Often Google can do a more complete / accurate search than the church website search tool.

Google can only search what's publicly available. It can't index what is locked behind a login screen.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

The general Church website search actually uses Google behind the scenes, so the results for public content are very similar.

For Notes, there's a search box at Notes.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, but I wasn't able to get it to return any results, from testing just now. :(

However, you can also search your notes in the Gospel Library app – open search, type in search terms, then tap the Collections filter and choose "Notes."
