Searching your content

Helping you and your visitors to find what you're looking for, faster.

Whether you're working within the GitBook app or your visitors are reading your published content, GitBook's search functions (now powered by our GitBook AI feature, Lens ✨) help to make it quicker and easier to find what you're looking for.

Permissions For published content, anyone can use the built-in search feature in the top-right of the screen to find the answers or pages they’re looking for.

For internal content, all member roles can use the quick find search bar in the top-left of the screen. However, members will only be able to search the internal content they have permission to access.‌ This includes private content, which is only searchable by you.
