Search for embedded content in Google Sites

What's new

Finding information is easier than ever within a Google Site. Previously, searching in a site only showed results from the text directly on the pages. Now, when you perform a search, the results will also include content from within embedded files, such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, embedded websites, and code.

This highly-requested update expands the search capabilities beyond just the content on the page, providing a more comprehensive and efficient experience. This feature helps you find what you're looking for, whether it's on a page or within an embedded file.

Get started

Now available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. You can also optionally get started today via New Google Sites.

Additional details

• For existing sites, the fastest way to enable this feature is to re-publish your site.

• If you choose not to re-publish, embedded search will still become available on your Site in the coming months.

• No action is required for new sites as the feature will be enabled by default.
