Searches your own data

Results

Each result is marked Theme, Code or Quote, and a quote shows its ID, participant and text. Choosing a result opens it on the map and in the reader.

Find the line you remember

Partway through an analysis you often remember a phrase a participant used without remembering where you coded it. Search looks across your theme names, code names and quote text, and takes you to what it finds.

It also helps when reviewing themes. Searching a word such as "boundaries" shows every code and quote that uses it, which can reveal a pattern spread across themes that you may want to bring together or name.

Searching your project

Search is at the top of the reader, the panel on the right.

What is searched

Theme names, code names and quote text. Working definitions, sub-code names and participant names are not searched, and a quote with a refined wording is found by that wording. The filter button narrows the search to Themes, Codes or Quote text, or to the theme, code or sub-code open in the reader.

Where it runs

Search works on the data already loaded in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere to search it.
