Searching for notes

To search for notes or for text inside notes you can use the shortcut Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + F (or ⌘ Cmd + ⇧ Shift + F on macOS) to jump to the Note search panel.

There are different ways to search for notes:

• note book will search for notes containing both note and book in the file name or note text
• "note book" will search for notes with exactly the text note book in the file name or note text
• n:book or name:book will search for notes with book just in the note name or file name
• n:"note book" or name:"note book" will search for notes with exactly note book just in the note name or file name
• w:note or word:note will search for note as a whole word, excluding partial matches like notebook
• Search operators can be combined, for example n:w:note searches for the whole word note only in the note name or file name

Ignoring accents

If you turn on Ignore accents in search in the Panels settings, searches without accented letters will also find text with accented letters. For example, avion will also find Avión, and strasse will also find Straße.

• Searches that contain accented letters still only find exact matches, so schön will not find schon
• Only Latin letters are affected, characters of other scripts are always matched exactly
• The setting is used for the note search, the highlighting of the found text in the note editor and preview, and for the filters of the tag, note subfolder and navigation panels
