AND Searching

By default queries are parsed as AND searches so a search for this that looks for notes that include both this and that.

OR Searching

To perform an OR search just separate your search terms using OR in UPPERCASE. For example, searching for this OR that looks for notes that include either this or that.

Search for a Phrase

As mentioned above, searching for this that will look for any note that includes both this and that anywhere in the note. If you want to search for notes where these words are next to each other you can wrap them in quotes i.e. "this that".

Wildcards

You can use a ? to represent any single character and a * to represent any number of characters.

Field Searching

There are 4 fields that can be searched:

  • title
  • content
  • tags
  • last_modified

By default, if you don't specify a field to be searched, title, content and tags are searched. Alternatively you can search specific fields by prefixing the search term with the field name and a semi-colon. Examples:

  • title:holiday
  • content:"project plan"
  • tags:personal AND title:holiday
  • tags:work AND project < This is equivalent to tags:work AND (title:project OR content:project OR tags:project)
  • last_modified:today
  • last_modified:20220131
  • tags:work AND last_modified:[20220101 to 20220131]
