Are Stories searchable?

MarkDCY — Mon, 24 May 2021 16:33:10 GMT

I have added a couple stories to my website but the story titles / text do not seem to be searchable via the standard search icon on the site.

HI, hopefully this Square Support page will help.

Scroll down to SEO and Social Media Settings.

Hi Terri,

I read the article. I see that you can add SEO text for search engines to find your story page. However, I meant the search tool within the website. Or did I miss something?

Thanks for the fast reply.

Mark

HI, did you create the Overview Page? When did you add the Story? I believe there is a lag due to platform updating new information. There is a lag during the busiest time of the day.

Need ability to text search within stories

I've added a lot of stories to my e-business site, and need a way for customers to search for stories by content (i.e. search for stories that contain "dog food").

Heya @MarkDCY,

I moved your post to an existing thread where another seller had the same question about this.

@Goldneye provided the Support Center page above about stories and how to utilize the SEO feature but I don't believe it offers exactly what you're looking for here so that'd be a feature request we can tag/pass on.

Thanks Ashley, yes, great if it is added as a feature request.

Yeah that function would help a lot! Is there any workaround if the function is still not available?

This feature would be very useful!

Searchable blogs are a great idea, especially since blogs tend to grow quickly. Blogs containing recipes are a great example. Someone might want to locate only recipes that contain a certain ingredient. I could see this being very attractive to visitors to the point of winning repeat visits. Cheers!

Thank you for adding this feedback @MarkDCY - as someone who often looks up recipes on blogs, I know exactly what you mean. We'll continue to pass this onto our Square Online product team.
