On iPad, you can search all your Freeform boards for text in handwriting, sticky notes, text boxes, shapes, and filenames. In the Freeform app, you can search within a board you’re in, or search all boards from the All Boards screen, where any board that contains the text appears in the results.

Go to the Freeform app on your iPad.
Do any of the following:
- Search within a board: Tap the More button at the top right. Tap Find.
- Search all boards: Tap the search field in the top-right corner of the All Boards screen. Any board that contains the text appears in the search results.
  
  (If you’re in a board, tap the Back button to access Search in All Boards.)
