+ Feature search is case-sensitive, and the user needs to enter the full feature name for the search to work.
+
+ ## Search

+From the Map Viewer tab, click on the Search tab, scroll down to Feature Search, paste the full Feature name in the search box and select Search. For instance:
+```

+ ```
+![Search (1)](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/478b157c-f607-4f3e-8116-36fa04e0f1b7)
+
+ ## View results
+
+The search results and the total number of hits will be displayed under the Feature Search box. To view the results, click the green plus icon on the left side of each hit. Users can view the results simultaneously across all hits. The feature will be represented as a blue arrow, and the feature name can be displayed or removed by clicking on the arrow.
