Finding notes
The quick switcher
Section titled “The quick switcher”Press Ctrl+O (Cmd+O on a Mac) and type part of a note’s name, one of its
aliases, or its path, as projects/road. The best matches come first, and
with nothing typed, the notes you edited last. Press Enter to open the
highlighted note, the arrow keys to move between them, or Escape to close.
Search
Section titled “Search”Press Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Shift+F on a Mac), or choose Search in the sidebar, and type. Nether finds the notes whose title or text has every word you type, whatever their case or accents, the last word matching as you type it, notes whose title matches first. Each note found shows the text around a match.
