Search everywhere

Global search looks through the whole suite at once and jumps you straight to the result. It covers:

• Todo — tasks (title and notes) and task lists
• Calendar — events (title and notes)
• Reading — saved pages (title, address and excerpt)
• Projects — projects and their outline items
• Email — messages stored on this device (subject, sender address, preview)
• Notes — pages and the text inside them

Opening search

How	Where
Ctrl/⌘+F	Anywhere, on every platform. In the web app this replaces the browser’s find-in-page.
s in the command palette	Anywhere
The magnifier in the top bar	Phones and narrow windows

Using it

1. Type in the Search everywhere… field. Results update as you type (after a very short pause).
2. Each row shows the app’s icon, the item’s title, a snippet with the matching text, and where it lives (the list, calendar, reading list, project or folder).
3. ↑ / ↓ move the highlight; Enter or a click opens the result. Escape closes the overlay and returns your cursor to where it was.

“No results.” means nothing matched.

How matching works

• The last word you type is matched as a prefix, so proj finds “project” and “projects”.
• Accents are ignored: cafe finds “café”.
• Results are ranked by relevance; the best-matching field is used for the snippet. A note that matches in both its title and body appears once.
• At most 60 results are shown.

What is left out

• Archived tasks and archived reading pages.
• Anything inside a locked vault. Unlock the vault and its contents appear in results like everything else.
• Email that is not stored on this device.
• Deleted items.

Where a result takes you

Result	What opens
Task	The task’s list, with the task’s detail pane open
Task list	The list
Event	The calendar jumps to the event’s month, showing all calendars
Saved page	The reading list containing the page
Project / outline item	The project, with the matching row selected
Email message	The folder, with the message open
Note	The page

If you are in split view and one pane already shows the result’s app, the result opens there instead of replacing what you are looking at.

Note

Notes has its own in-module search on Ctrl/⌘+K, limited to your notes. Global search is the cross-app one.
