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

Open the Freeform app on your iPhone.
Do any of the following:
- Search within a board: Tap the More button, then tap Find.
- Search all boards: Tap the search field (or the Search button) on 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.)
