To search in Pocket, look for the search option at the top of your List and Archive.
Type in your search in the search bar, or choose a reading time length if you're looking for items in your list that meet a specific reading length. This is a great way to filter by your longer reads that you've been saving up, or find something shorter to read when you're short on time.
Working with your Search Results
Tap the filter button next to the search bar to switch your sort order: newest first, oldest first, shortest to read or longest to read. You can toggle between viewing your search results in your List and in your Archive
