Search bar to find workouts, recipes and mindfulness sessions

[Cuttlebranch]

We need a way to search for exercise and mindfulness sessions . Searching for key terms like "walking" or "stress" would help us find relevant sessions faster.

Yes, I definitely agree with this. Current search is tedious and time consuming and I can never find the second or third in a series of workouts which is really frustrating. I have ended up with a huge and unwieldy favourite list to workaround this which kind of defeats the point.

Now that Fitbit is part of Google, searching should be a given shouldn't it?! 🤔

I agree with this. 
im having issues trying a particular type of workout (for improving posture or posture related workouts) it’s such a pain trying to go through each workout category and type and just scroll! I found one after going through the workouts for about 20 mins and stopped searching. This was a horrible way to search. Every other workout apps have a search function and isn’t FitBit in partner with Google who made their mark in tech because of their search capabilities?

I note, with disappointment, that this feature has been requested for at least 3 years in this section and commented on in other sections of the forum for longer. This is a basic feature of any database and makes fitbit premium user unfriendly due to the lack thereof. Considering that this is a paid subscription this is not good value for customers. It is a shame that this issue is not being addressed and will be the reason for cancelling and find something with better functionality. Please address this.

Honestly, I keep WANTING to use Fitbit workouts, but the inability to search makes selecting workouts tedious at best and sometimes requires a ridiculous amount of searching to find workouts that work for my specific limitations. I've found ONE particular Pelaton coach who meets my needs, and I'd love to just be able to search for that specific coach's videos. Why, in this day and age of technology, would you not just provide a search capability and delight your customers rather than making features acquire a certain number of votes. Many people will never pursue to the point of requesting or voting for a feature. Do you know how MANY unhappy customers each vote here represents? I've been unhappy for awhile and just now found the path to even finding this forum. PLEASE seek to delight your customers.. especially when Google now owns Fitbit and is supposed to be the king of search engines. It makes no sense to NOT have a search capability for workouts!!??!!

I agree

Add the ability to search for a workout versus how a user can only filter on certain categories.
