Why use Search?

Using Search helps you:

• Find everything in one place
• Discover assets faster
• Browse assets visually to find what you need and get inspired
• Build scenes without relying on cost of AI

Where to find Search

Search lives in the left toolbar of the StoryTribe editor. Click the Search icon to open it.

When you first open Search, you’ll see a browse view with themes such as Office, School, Cafe & Restaurant, Food, Bedroom, and more. These themes help you explore assets visually without typing anything.

Browsing by theme

Themes are a great way to discover assets when you’re still exploring ideas.

From the Search panel, you can:

• Browse themed collections such as Office, School, Food, and Bedroom — commonly used setups for everyday scenes
• Click a theme to explore related items across props, templates, icons, and images
• Quickly build a scene by mixing and matching assets.

Searching for something specific

If you know what you’re looking for, use the search bar at the top.

For example, try searching for “Vacation.”

Search returns results across multiple asset types at once, so you can see everything related to your query in a single view.

View search results by asset types

Search results are grouped into rows:

• Props
• Characters
• Templates
• Icons
• Images

You can scroll through each row to preview items, or click View more to browse the full set within that category.

Filtering with category pills

Below the search bar, you’ll see category pills such as:

• All
• Props
• Characters
• Templates
• Icons
• Images
• Themes

Click a pill to filter your results or navigate between asset types.
