Here, use the Search bar to enter your search term and click the Search button, or press Enter to search for it across all interview transcripts of that Guide, in both questions and responses. (For example - "Bluetooth".)

Common pronouns (e.g., "I", "you", "he", "she", etc.) and connective words (e.g., "and", "but", "then", etc.) will be ignored in search queries.
