+## Searching for data
+
+### Using the Search dialog in the sidebar
+
+You can enter terms into the search bar in the left sidebar.
+
+If there is a matching entry for that term in the database, a preview box will appear underneath the search bar, showing a preview of that matching term, on the respective date. The matching term will be highlighted in bold to help you notice it.
+
+Clicking on the previewed item will jump to that date.
+
+If there are multiple dates with a match, these will be listed underneath each other, with the date shown at the start of each matching item.
+
+**Note:** when searching for data, only the current version of the page is searched (not previous revisions/versions).
+
+Searching for a 'tag' (as opposed to page text) or document names (if you have the Documents feature enabled) will also return results.
+
+### Search for text on the current page
+
+You can also search for text on the current page by pressing **Ctrl+F** or Navigate -> Find on page. 
+
+This will open a search bar at the bottom of the page. 
+
+You can set it to be case sensitive (it is case-insensitive by default) and scroll through matches. The matched word will be highlighted on the page.
