@matthews3000 Is support for Google Slides documents on the cards?

@palesa08 Yes, it is - it will be added in at some point in the future. It's not included in the first version given the relatively small percentage of public Slides compared to Sheets and Docs. Do you know any examples of high-quality, public Google Slides worth sharing?

@matthews3000 Understood. I was looking to add our Remote Work Starter Kit when I saw that Slides weren't supported yet (https://docs.google.com/presenta...). There are a couple from other people that I could share with you, if you wish. Thanks for looking into it.

@palesa08 Thanks for that, it definitely looks like a useful doc! I'll submit it as soon as Slides support has been added. If you have more links, could you send them to info@sourceful.co.uk please

I'm not sure I get it. Any keywords I put in have zero results. Am I missing a step?

@stephanie_mcdonald2 Sorry to hear this Stephanie - could you give me an example of a keyword you have tried? For example using "test" should return one result: https://sourceful.co.uk/?tags=&a...

@matthews3000 Maybe I'm misunderstanding the use case. Is this searching only what people have put into Sourceful? Or is it supposed to search elsewhere?

@stephanie_mcdonald2 Yes, just what's on Sourceful. Currently there is no easy, reliable way to search for Google documents using for example Google search. As more documents will be added to Sourceful, hopefully you will be able to search and find documents about all topics/keywords you are interested in.
