Hi @samschultzponsys,
Yeah, text within the collapsible blocks is indexed like any other text.

It can be a bit tricker for the user to find text when actually on the page, which we try to help in some of our own mechanisms (for example, auto-opening blocks when clicking a link to a header inside) but there's some natural degree of obfuscation that comes with collapsible blocks.

No worries it being searchable is already fantastic, thank you!
