Overview

The Vport Search feature on Apple Vision Pro helps you quickly find:

  • Artist sets
  • Events
  • Artists

Search lives in the left side panel and opens a dedicated Search page.
You can type a search term and view results as interactive carousels.

Importantly, search results persist even when you navigate to other sections like the Portal or Profile and return later.

Purpose (User Value)

Search is designed to help you:

  • Jump directly to the artist, event, or set you're looking for
  • Discover content across three main categories from a single place
  • Avoid losing your search while navigating the app

If you’re not sure where something is located, Search is the fastest way to get there.

How to Use (Step-by-step Guide)

3.1 Opening Search from the Side Panel​

  1. Put on your Apple Vision Pro and open Vport.
  2. Look at the left side panel.

3.2 Typing a Search Term​

  1. Look at the search bar.
  2. Pinch to focus it (VisionOS keyboard or dictation appears).
  3. Type the artist, event, or set name.

Important:
You must type at least 3 characters for results to appear.

  • Example:
    • ar → no results
    • ari → Search executes

3.3 Understanding the Search Results (3 Carousels)​

After typing 3+ characters, results appear in up to three carousels:

  • Artist Sets
  • Events
  • Artists

Each carousel:

  • Displays relevant cards
  • Scrolls horizontally using gaze + pinch
  • May hide itself or show an empty state when no matches exist

3.4 Interacting with Search Results​

To open something:

  1. Look at a card under one of the categories:
    • Artist Sets
    • Events
    • Artists
  2. Pinch to select.

What happens next:

  • Artist Set: Opens the set page or media player
  • Event: Opens the event detail page
  • Artist: Opens the artist profile page

You can return to the Search page anytime to refine your search.

3.5 Search State Persistence (Results Don’t Reset)​

One key behavior:

Your search results remain intact even if you leave Search and come back.

Example:

  1. Search for “Ari”.
  2. Open an event.
  3. Return to Search → your query and results are still there.

Note:
Results persist within your current app session.
Clearing the search bar or closing the app will reset them.

If the content exists but doesn’t show, contact Support.

This is normal.
Example:

  • Searching an artist may only show “Artists”
  • Searching an event title may only show “Events”

If you expected more:

  • Try a broader search term
  • Try partial words instead of full names

Issue 3: My Previous Search Disappeared​

Possible reasons:

  • You cleared the search bar
  • The Vport app was closed or restarted
  • Some navigation paths reset the page state (version-dependent)

Fix:
Reopen Search via the left panel and type your query again.

Issue 4: Results Don’t Match What I Expected​

Possible causes:

  • Spelling variations
  • Missing characters or special characters
  • Content not available in your region

Try:

  • Type simpler or partial words (e.g., “sham” for “Shambhala”)
  • Confirm availability of the event/artist

If still missing, contact Support with:

  • Artist/event/set name
  • Your exact search term
