Search Page Help
There are two ways to find pages: the quick switcher for jumping to a page by name, and full-text search. For the full guide, see Finding Pages
. Mod means Ctrl on Windows and Linux and Cmd on a Mac.
Quick switcher
| Keys | Opens |
|---|---|
| Mod+K or Mod+O (Mod+O inside the editor, where Mod+K inserts a link) | the switcher, to find a page |
| Mod+P | the switcher with a list of commands |
| Mod+Alt+N | today's daily note |
Type part of a page name, title or alias, or its initials, and press Enter to open the highlighted page. Ctrl+Enter or Cmd+Enter opens it in a new tab. The switcher also offers Search full text for... and, when no page has that name, Create page....
Full-text search
Choose Search full text for... or open /search?q=your+words. Each result shows the page summary, matching snippets, author, date, cluster and tags.
- Type plain words. Operators such as
+,-,AND, quotes andfield:prefixes are not interpreted; they are searched as ordinary text. - Matches in the page name count most, then summary, tags and cluster, then the body.
- When semantic search is enabled, a page can match on meaning even if it does not use your exact words.
- You only see pages you are allowed to view. At most 20 pages come back, so refine your words if the page you want is missing.
Filters
When a search returns more than one page, a Filters panel narrows the results by topic (cluster), author, tag and modified date. Choices inside one filter widen the match; different filters narrow it. Clear filters removes them.
