Global search: finding anything
One query — your whole base
Section titled “One query — your whole base”⌘F (Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux, the shortcut is configurable) opens the search command palette — one query across mail, notes, documents, recordings, contacts, tasks and the rest of your data at once, without going into a specific module.
Fast, because it searches words, not meaning
Section titled “Fast, because it searches words, not meaning”The palette is full-text search with no model call: results arrive instantly because nothing waits on computing meaning. The trade-off for speed is that an exact match matters more than a paraphrase: with no Russian stemming, “работа” and “работать” aren’t treated as the same word.
Search by meaning is a separate mechanism, used by the agent in chat: ask in your own words and it finds things that don’t contain the query’s exact words at all. That’s the real difference: the palette is for “I remember roughly what it was called,” the agent in chat is for “I remember what it was about, just not the name.”
Results and navigation
Section titled “Results and navigation”Results are grouped by type — up to six per group, with a “show more” button. Clicking one opens the entity itself in its native module, not a preview inside the palette.
Limits worth knowing
Section titled “Limits worth knowing”- Brand-new items don’t show up instantly. Indexing runs in the background with a delay of tens of seconds — a note you just created might not turn up right away.
- Not everything is in the shared index. Built-in help articles aren’t part of the palette.
- Mail’s own search is more precise. The Mail module has its own built-in search that partly compensates for the missing stemming and filters by a specific mailbox — if the global palette comes up empty, try searching inside mail itself.
