Is there a way to search the "Extras"-Sidebar?

I want to search for something in “Tips & Tricks” articles from the “Extras”-Sidebar. Is there any way to do it? I couldn’t find one.

Currently, no there is not.

“Tips & Tricks” would be significantly improved if it could be searched. I would support this feature.

The Tips & Tricks are from the DEVONtechnologies Blog, so you can search them with a search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo. I do that from time to time and find it works well. Just use ‌site:devontechnologies.com/blog in your query.

The blog also has a list of tags you can browse by

I clip some of them to my database for local search. You can also right click tips in the Extras Sidebar and choose “Import Tip”. (Though only one at a time)

You can also subscribe to the DEVONtechnologies blog as an RSS feed from within DEVONthink at <![CDATA[Devonian Times]]> (here it is with some periods replaced by (DOT) to make it readable: “https://www(DOT)devontechnologies(DOT)com/blog.rss”), and thus search it from within DEVONthink. I keep a database of various RSS feeds, and this is one of them.
