Find the right resource and the right passage
Boilerrum has several search surfaces with different jobs. Use the workspace library to locate a resource, the focus document library to move between pages, and the selected document’s search panel to inspect or replace wording. Check the active workspace and project before interpreting any results.

02
Search the available resource library
Choose Search in the sidebar and type a distinctive resource name in Search workspace resources. Results include the resource type and its project and folder path. Search can match those visible identifiers. Although the dialog says all projects, the current live resource feed supplies the active project; select another project and repeat when checking elsewhere. This is not a guaranteed full-text search of every project body.
03
Read the path and open the result
Read a result’s name, path and type before selecting it. Arrow Up and Arrow Down move the active result; Enter selects it, while Escape closes the search. Selecting a folder reveals its place in Library; an openable document or canvas also opens its view. Confirm the selected project and resource title after navigation, then clear or close search before making changes.
04
Move between pages in focus mode
Select a document card, open Focus mode and choose Find a document, or press Cmd/Ctrl+K. The Search documents field filters page titles and available page content in the project library. Read the result excerpt and open the intended page, then clear the search to recover the nested tree. Content from pages that have not loaded may not contribute matches yet.
05
Use document search for wording changes
For a phrase inside the open document, return to the canvas, select its card and choose Search and replace. Find text searches that document; Replace with prepares an edit, and Previous or Next inspect matches before Replace. This panel does not locate other resources. If any search returns nothing, check the workspace, project, title and loaded content before concluding the information is absent.
A reliable route from workspace context to a resource, a page and the exact wording you need.
