Add the ability for players to search the journal.

The title says is it all. As a GM I try to organize my journal to make it easier for my players to find things, but as campaigns progress and the players find more things, it gets cumbersome. If a game creator can search the journal, why can't the players? 

Just adding here, particularly with those of us who run more module based games. There are a lot of nice handouts that, from a player side, that are difficult to find again and "forcing" the DM to redisplay it is additional unneeded overhead. I would say either search or allow the player to sort the handed out things to their preference (although I suspect search is easier). Thank you Rick for posting!

I see you are a pro user. Have you looked at the Search mod? Players in your game can use it because you have the pro subsription. I keep a macro to call it in the macro bar where it can be used by players. It respects which handouts and characters are GM only or player controlled/visible. It's available in the Mod Script Library.

I do use and very much like that MOD because it can search for strings within handouts and not just their titles, but I think the basic search functionality should be available as part of the VTT for both the game creator (as it is now) and the players.

Would the search function not also reveal information that the players may not have access to yet?   Would it reveal GM notes in the Journal tab with the right set of search terms?  Please note I have not reviewed the Search Mod either...so I'm not sure if there is some built-in limitation.

The Search MOD does restrict what results the players can see. A native search function that the players could use would also have to restrict search results to return only those designated to appear in a player's journal.
