This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit FV-I-681 On form dropdowns you can search as well as scroll.
When building a form template we can select form questions to have searchable answers. In classic web we can search for forms based on searchable form answers but this filter option does not appear to have been transferred over into new web. Can it please be transferred over into new web as a filter option?

This came up for me recently too. We created a site induction register form on Fieldview recently and the only way we could search for inductees names was by making the question "searchable" which is fine but then if we need to search for inductees by name the only way to do this was to go on Fieldview classic > Forms > View Forms > Click here to show advanced filters > search searchable questions. This is an incredibly long winded way to do a pretty basic task and most people wouldnt know how to do this without contacting FV support I wouldnt have thought.
I would imagine this function could be very useful for all sorts of forms.
Being able to search the actual text within a form is necessary at times and would save us a lot of time if we were able to do this is in New Field View. We could bulk export pdf very quickly and reduce the time it takes to print the specific forms. You give us the option when building the form to tick the searchable box but then don't provide the option in New Field View...not ideal.
