The search palette

Visitors can jump to any page with a keyboard command palette, the same ⌘K muscle memory they already have.

Open in the interactive manual →

The interactive version has full-text search, a table of contents, and light/dark themes.


Press +K (or Ctrl+K) in a published scene and a search palette opens, a full-text search across every page's title, role, and summary. Type a few letters, arrow down to a result, hit Enter, and the camera flies there. Esc closes it.

Results are ranked, not listed in scene order: pages whose title starts with what you typed come first, then other title matches, then everything else that mentions it. The list shows the first ten but the count is the real one ("Showing 10 of 38 matching pages"), so a visitor on a big site knows there's more to narrow down rather than believing the site only has ten pages about it. Arrowing past the bottom scrolls the list rather than leaving the cursor somewhere off-screen.

It's the same command-palette pattern visitors know from their favorite apps, so it needs no explanation, and it makes even a sprawling, many-page 3D site feel instantly navigable.

Multi-page scenes only Like the tour, the search palette appears when a scene has more than one page to search.
