How the search feature works
Search bar
The search bar in the "All notes" page lets you find notes by typing keywords. Search results update in real time as you type.
Search terms are chip-based: type a keyword and press Enter to add it as a search chip. You can add multiple chips to refine your search. Press Backspace on an empty search field to remove the last chip. You can also click the × button on any chip to remove it.
Text typed in the search field (not yet confirmed as a chip) is also used for live filtering.
What is searched
Each search term is matched against the following fields:
- Note content (text of the note)
- Title
- URL
- Domain
- Folder name
- Tags
- Last update date
- Page content (if the "Search in page content" option is enabled in Settings)
The search is not case sensitive.
How multiple terms work
When you have multiple search chips, a note is shown if any of the terms matches at least one of the fields listed above (OR logic). This makes it easy to find notes across different topics or URLs at once.
Filters
In addition to the search bar, you can use filters to narrow down the results. Click the Filter button to open the filter panel. Available filters:
- Type — filter by note type: Global, Domain, or Page. Multiple types can be selected at once.
- Colour — filter by note colour. Multiple colours can be selected at once.
- Folder — filter by folder name. Type to search and select from suggestions, or type a custom value.
- Tags — filter by tags. Same chip-based input as folder.
Filters and search terms work together: a note must match all active filters and at least one search term (if any) to be displayed.
