Search across everything

One box in the top bar finds entries in every collection you may see.

Press / or Cmd+K (Ctrl+K), or click “Search everything…” in the top bar, and type. Results list the matching entries with their cover and the collection each belongs to. Click one to open it.

Results of a search across all collections.
  • It searches titles and field values, and finds words anywhere in them.
  • You only ever get what you may see: collections you have no access to, or that are locked, stay out of the results.
  • Inside a collection, the search box above the cards narrows that collection and combines with filters (see Browse, search and filter).
  • Encrypted collections are searched too, but only while they are unlocked.
Note. In Home the search runs on the built-in SQLite full-text index; in Server it runs on Elasticsearch. Either way it is the same box and the same results.
