# Search Topics: Understand qualitative data at the Conversation level

### Overview

For Ask Opinion, Branch Opinion, and Ask Experience questions, Search Topics enables you to analyze and understand key themes and topics at the Conversation-level. This allows you to go beyond a question-by-question framework to tell a big-picture story using responses from every open-ended question in your Conversation.

### How it Works

Search Topics allows Remesh users the ability to search key terms for responses from the entire Conversation, rather than just individual questions. This feature combines the best of “Common Topics” and “Search” which are also available within the Tools menu. Using this data, you can build Topic Clouds or pull specific responses.

### Where to find Search Topics

1\. Navigate to the Analysis page 

2\. Click on the Tools drop-down menu and select Search Topics
