  I am uploading videos to my website to create an exercise video library. The search bar only searches for posts, not videos. Is there a way to make my videos searchable on my site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Check out the following page to see what WordPress.com search entails:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/

  You can peruse your site’s videos here:

  https://journeyfitnesslakesaintlouis.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  Simply select Video from the drop down.

  Also, you can use Omnisearch to search media:

  

  Let us know if you have any more questions :-)

  That’s not what I’m looking for. I am uploading exercise video clips into a password protected area of my website that I am giving my personal training clients access to. Once they are logged in, I want them to be able to search for a video I have uploaded by it’s name in a search box. Right now if you search, it only pulls up results to blog posts, not any of the videos uploaded. Is this possible with wordpress.com? I basically want my videos to be searchable from a client’s point of view.

  Once a user has logged into the password-protected post or page, they can press Control+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) to bring up a search box in their browser. If the text they are looking for is on the page, their browser will find it.

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
