You can look for specific content within a mind map using the Search and Filter options.
With the Search option, all search results will be highlighted in yellow, leaving the rest of the content blurred.
You can use wildcards to broaden your search by finding words that start or end with the same letters. You will have to use an asterisk (*) with a distinctive word stem to retrieve variations of the term with less typing. Use the asterisk at the end of the word stem to match all results that begin with that stem. If you use the asterisk at the beginning of the word, it will match all the results that contain or end with that stem.
If you want to search for two words put together in the same phrase (in a topic, note, comment), then use the '+' (plus) sign in front of every word of the phrase (+high +unemployment) - the search will go through the mind map and look for all phrases that contain both 'high' and 'unemployment' and highlight them.

Hashtag functionality helps you tag words in a topic and allows you to find specific content easier. You will be able to see accurate matches for your search or results that feature individual phrases in your search.
To add a hashtag type # and your word right after that, then press Enter. The hashtag will automatically appear in the filtering bar, where you will see how many times it is used in the diagram.

The AALAMO Process - Purpose (The Why)
Reinvent and share an advanced digital visualization processes that empowers teachers, designers, and trainers to design and analyze better courses.
AALAMO - About (Assemble Assign Linked Aligned Mapped Outcomes) is a flexible course-design assembly and development/review process that is:
*The cloud-based software the AALAMO process runs on utilizes is very low-cost to implement (and a Freemium version is also available).
Disclaimer: Dr. Greg Rose is not affiliated with, and is not selling or profiting from this software or any related services. This AALAMO course-design process was developed and refined by myself over many years of Higher Education course development and management experience as well as training-course design/delivery practice. My original AALAMO process is being demonstrated here gratis as a professional courtesy to faculty and developers to promote best-practice course design at all levels. When utilizing this or a similar process your results will vary because only practice, collaboration and honest feedback will gradually move all of us from good to amazing! Greg Rose.
NOTE: I did not 'invent' eLearning course mapping, however I believe I have significantly augmented the course-design process by elaborating on and sharing the AALAMO process. Your feedback and contributions to this process are welcome and needed! Dr. Greg L. Rose

HOW TO eDesign by Tom Kuhlmann (example Note and Link)
How I Stumbled Into E-Learning and Became a Successful E-Learning Designer
by Tom Kuhlmann
"E-learning can be a daunting task for anyone, but especially for those with no experience and also being a team of one.
But with some careful planning and execution, it can be a very successful endeavor. "
I agree with Tom!
However, The AALAMO course design and assembly process/architecture is my antidote to those daunting (as well as simple) course-design tasks!
Q: Do I use ALLAMO for every eLearning project?
A: No
Q: Do I use the AALAMO process frequently?
A: Yes!
I sincerely hope you will too!

→ Showcase & Deconstruction: Build Build long or shot examples and then discuss or deconstruct (solo or collaboratively). See how and why topics were built so you can apply and re-apply new ideas to your own courses
I vote YES to this... anybody else?
→ Build Accessible Courses: Explore accessibility outside the scope of eLearning with NOTES and COMMENTS and then learn to use the tools and resources to build more accessible courses.
Constructing courses that meet accessibility requirements is very important!
→ Advanced Course Design: Extend your authoring capabilities with a visual focus on course flow, relationships and alignment to outcomes, and many-more advanced techniques.
→ Improving Course Design: Improve the quality and engagement of your eLearning or F2F courses with AALAMO architectures.
The AALAMO design framework is pragmatic, but flexible. It will will take you through the processes needed to produce a well aligned course

A variety of 'connection lines' in style and color can be drawn between any topics. The lines can be straight, curved, etc. (you choose the style, color and thickness).
Whenever you add a new topic in your concept map, you can instantly visually explain how it’s linked to any other topic(s) by labeling their connecting lines. As you add more topics, you may see new connections between your ideas you never saw before!
I suggest 'labeling' your connections between lesson topics and outcomes with the type of assessment (quiz, discussion, essay, etc.). EXAMPLE: label the connection line between your assignment with 'write essay' (or a short code of possible assessments) and 'connect' it to the outcome (this specifies how the outcome is satisfied, and how it is 'linked' to the outcome).

Creating a task is simple:
Click on any topic's menu (each topic has an array of options), next -
choose:
(1)Tools, then
(2) 'Set as task' .
The topic becomes a task and can be divided into smaller, assignable subtasks.
ASSIGNING the Task is even simpler!
Assign tasks and set deadlines
To assign a task, go to the context menu of a task topic (1) and click the option Add people (2). You will be redirected to the Share page where you type in the email address(s) of the collaborators you want to invite.
Monitor Progress
Set a priority for a task and monitor the completion and duration of it from the context menu of each task topic.

Assemble a 'Concept Map' not a 'Mind Map'
What's the difference?
In contrast with the rigid structure of the mind map, the concept map maintains a flexible layout. It allows you to move your topics anywhere on the map canvas by dragging them and organize your map as you see best.
Whenever you add a new topic in your concept map, you can instantly explain how it’s linked to the previous one by labeling their connecting lines. As you add more topics, you may even see new connections between your ideas.

Concept Map vs Mind Map
A concept map is a diagram showing the relationships among concepts.
It is a graphical tool for organizing and representing knowledge.
Concepts, usually represented as boxes or circles, are connected with labeled arrows in a downward-branching hierarchical structure.
The relationship between concepts can be articulated in linking phrases.
Examples "gives rise to", "results in", "is required by," or "contributes to" etc.
A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information.
A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added.
Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories are sub-branches of larger branches.

by: Alberto J. Cañas & Joseph D. Novak
https://cmap.ihmc.us/docs/constructingaconceptmap.php
"Finally, the Cmap should be revised, concepts re-positioned in ways that lend to clarity and better over-all structure, and a “final” map prepared. When computer software is used, one can go back, change the size and font style, and add colors to “dress up” the concept map.
Thus, we see that concept maps are not only a powerful tool for capturing, representing, and archiving knowledge of individuals, but also a powerful tool to encourage meaningful learning and to create new knowledge."
"Learn everything about..."
GLR:
Back in 2019, my supervisor said,
"Greg, one of your assignments is to learn everything about our new integrated adult continuing-ed course-delivery/LMS - marketing platform."
That is a big assignment, especially as I had never worked in that particular LMS ecosystem before!
So, I FIRST:
went to the LMS vendor's website (www.thinkific.com), copied a multitude of their 'bullet point' type descriptions on:
SECOND:
I build a concept map (using the software I use for AALAMO Course Development) and build a 'reference map' that I could add links to, graphics to, descriptions, and my own notes and assignments to.
RESULT:
Using this technique, in a relatively short time, I became their "LMS expert" on that platform and was able to assist them to build out their courses and many enhancements to their teaching and learning experience, largely in part due to my ability to map, reference, search and find most of what I needed to know about this LMS in one place.

The AALAMO process and allows for the editing and direct inclusion of both formal and informal references, written content/narrations, notes, documents, PDFs, graphics, and hyperlink resources directly into the developing or final course AALAMO design document.

Gather and List your anticipated course (or design) Objectives/Goals/Outcomes.
If they are per-determined, say by the curriculum committee or SME or yourself, formally add them in the suggested AALAMO format in your process diagram.
GLR
Outline the thinking process for a particular course (or communication problem) by considering several design factors and work with them in an online concept map.
Note - this can be done in any order... the AALAMO process allows to assemble your key elements in any order and arrange/align later.
