- Type the string to search for in a map or a group.

You'll be taken to the Map Hub search results page. This is a pivot, so you'll be able to switch between a list of map results and a list of group results by either tapping the title or swiping horizontally on the screen.
- If you're looking for a map, swipe to the maps pivot if you're not already there. Tap the thumbnail of a map to open it, or tap the description to view the details of the map.
- If you're looking for a group, swipe to the groups pivot. Tap the group's name to display a pivot containing the group's maps and profile.
