Search

EnaCast includes a built-in search engine on each station’s website that lets listeners find content quickly. The search doesn’t just look at titles — it also searches inside episode transcriptions, making it possible to find the exact moment where a specific topic is discussed.

How to Search

Listeners can open the search from any page on the station’s website:

• By clicking the search icon in the header
• Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac)

The search opens as a modal over the current page. Simply type at least 2 characters for results to appear.

Types of Results

The search organizes results into three categories using tabs:

Podcasts

Searches titles and descriptions of episodes. Results show:

• Episode title with matching text highlighted
• Show name
• Recording date
• Direct play button

Moments

This is the most powerful search feature. It searches inside the transcriptions of all episodes and finds the exact fragment where what you’re looking for is mentioned.

Each “moment” result shows:

• The transcription fragment where the match appears, with the text highlighted
• Additional context — the surrounding sentences for understanding the context
• The episode title it belongs to
• The exact second where that phrase is said
• A play button that jumps directly to that point in the audio

Practical Example

If a listener searches for “climate change”, the search will find every moment where anyone mentioned “climate change” in any episode of the station — not just episodes that have those words in the title.

News

Searches the headlines and bodies of published news articles. Results show:

• Article headline with matching text highlighted
• Publication date
• Link to read the full article

Searching Within a Show’s Archive

In addition to the global search, each show page has a dedicated search that only searches within that show’s episodes. This is useful when listeners want to find a specific topic within a regular broadcast.

Note

For an episode to be searchable in the “moments” section, it needs to have a generated transcription. Episodes without transcription will only appear in results if the search matches their title or description.

How Content Is Indexed

Content is automatically indexed in the search engine when:

• An episode with transcription is published
• A news article is published
• An already published episode or article is updated

You don’t need to do anything manually — indexing is automatic and changes are reflected within seconds.
