Search StoryMaps

SarahBurkett — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 17:19:38 GMT

I want to search within ArcGIS StoryMaps to find content related to my high school history and geography curriculum. Is there a way to do that beyond the "Gallery," which includes examples from the community?

Hi Sarah. You can use the search tool in ArcGIS Online, like: https://k12.maps.arcgis.com/home/search.html?q=pets%20global&focus=applications-storymap

When you click my link above you'll see that storymaps (under Apps) is indicated in the left side filters. If you still have issues, feel free to email the schools team at schools @ esri.com

When searching like suggested by Tom, you'll likely want to make sure the toggle for "Only search in My Organization" is disabled. Otherwise, you only find stories that were made by people in your same organization. With that toggle off, you search all stories made by anyone in ArcGIS Online.

Be aware that the search in ArcGIS Online is searching the metadata about the story, so it depends what the author included in the title and description of the story. You can also use Google and restrict it to searching StoryMaps by using the "site" parameter. You'll type something like the following, without quotes, into the search in Google - "site:storymaps.arcgis.com pets" (example). (This won't include stories made in public accounts though.)

For storymap searching only, you can try this custom tool: https://trbaker.github.io/storyMapHacks/search/

It pre-sets some of the settings, filters, sorts, etc for optimizing storymap searches.
