Question/answer » How do I search within the family archive?
When you are logged in to a family archive on Family Archivist you will see a search box at the top right. Here you can enter a search term on which to search in title, description or responses.
By default, photos / scans, stories and news are searched. However, if you want to search a specific category, click on the Search for ... button and select the desired category from the list that pops up.
