### Discover

The Discover landing page is a great place to find suggestions for content. At the top of the page here you will also find the search bar. To search the entire site, click on the search bar to open the search tool.

### Refine Your Search

After searching, use the content type filters at the top of the results page to narrow results to a specific section of the site (for example, Songs, Documents, or Resources).

### Refine your search with filters

You can further refine the search by adding a filter. These can be found by scrolling down in the search tool.

Once you select a filter, it appears at the top of the search bar as an active tag. You can then type an additional keyword to search within that filter.

Some of the search options include:

- Search by Rhythm (quarter eighth notes, sixteenth notes, syncopations, etc.)
- Search by Tone Set (mi so, mi so la, high do, fa, etc.)
- Search by Song Type (singing game, choral, action song, etc.)
- Search by Concept (composer, theory, dynamics, beat, etc.)
- Search by Theme (alphabet songs, calendar, food songs, farm, health, sea songs)
- Search by Chords (1-2-3 chord songs)
- and more! (curriculum links, assessments, holidays, months/weeks, etc.)

### Searching specific sections:

You can also search within any specific section of the site, not just the Discover page. To do this, navigate to the section you want to search, then click the search bar at the top of the page — it will automatically prompt you to apply a filter for that section.

The search will then only pull up results from that category. This can be especially useful for finding songs in the Song List, or for finding worksheets or other printables in the Documents section.
