How does the search functionality within the Library work?
The Membership.io Library includes a robust, AI-powered search engine designed specifically to help you find content inside your Library.
Every audio and video file uploaded to your account is automatically transcribed. The Library search uses these transcripts to locate exact words and phrases spoken in your media files, allowing you and your audience to jump directly to the relevant moment—without manual scrubbing or scrolling.
This search works more like searching through a document than using a traditional search engine. Instead of asking questions, you’ll get the best results by searching for specific words or phrases that are mentioned in your content.
Example: If you’re looking for content about retention strategies, search for “retention strategies” rather than a full question like “what are good retention strategies.”
TIP: To get more relevant results, type full search terms—like “retention strategies”—rather than just the first few letters (for example, “reten”).
What does the Library search include?
The Library search bar is designed to search Library content only. It can return results from:
- Video and audio files (based on transcribed spoken words)
- Chapters
- Folders/Playlists
- Transcripts/Keywords
Search results are grouped by result type, making it easy to identify whether a match comes from a file, chapter, folder, or transcript.
How to search your Library
Navigate to the search bar inside your Library and enter a specific word or phrase you're looking for.
Press Enter to search.
From the results list, you can click any item to open the file or jump directly to the exact point in a media file where the term appears.
That's it! Searching within the Library lets you quickly filter through thousands of hours of content to find exactly what you need.
Looking for Hub search instead?
The Library search is different from your Hub’s search experience. If you’re trying to understand how members search content inside a Hub, refer to this article instead: How your Hub’s search bar works
