Search on one page - faq page with search function at top?

Hi oskarkuus ,

i understand that you have a single page with many questions and answers on it.

Now you want to have a functionality like "STRG-F" to search for content on that page and let the user directly jump to the search results.

AFAIK there is no functionality to achieve something like that out of the box. (And using a quick google search i did not find a custom solution... So you might have to build one from scratch)

The search webparts won't help you much as they are intended to search for content in multiple documents and give you a list of these documents and not for searching and highlighting content on the same page. 

But if you restructure your content you can alternatively do the following:

Option 1)
Split your singular content page into many, many little "question and answer" pages. Now you can either use the "default" SharePoint search or a custom search page to let the user search for the little question and answer pages. This works great if you also create a new site collection just for all of the FAQ pages. Then you can limit the search queries to just search just in that site collection for FAQ content.

Option 2)
Create a new list with a question and answer column and apply this view formatting "https://github.com/pnp/List-Formatting/tree/master/view-samples/faqs"
Now you have an FAQ page like this

and you simply can search in that list using the top search bar to filter that page for content

Best Regards,
Sven
