How do I search BookStack content?

Short answer: You can search content in BookStack by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the BookStack Search Content action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Search Content.

What does the Search Content action do in BookStack?

Full-text search across books, chapters, and pages scoped to what the connecting user can see. Useful for RAG-style "agent grounds answer in team wiki" workflows or for finding existing related content before creating a new page.

What inputs does Search Content require?

Required: Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if BookStack returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Search Content support batch operations?

Yes. Run Search Content inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles BookStack's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
