Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. You can also click the Search row in the sidebar, or the search icon when the sidebar is collapsed.

What search matches

Search matches document names and their location. It does not search the text inside documents.If you remember a phrase but not which document it is in, the palette will not find it. Neither will it match tags, descriptions, or a document’s type.
Search across the contents of your documents does exist — it is one of the tools your agents have. Ask your agent to find the phrase and it will search the text of every document and hand you the right one. So: the palette is for jumping to a document you can name. Finding one you can only describe is a job for your agent. Results are documents only. Folders, tags, and people do not appear.

Using the palette

Open the palette with an empty query and it immediately lists your ten most recently updated documents, so getting back to what you were just in takes two keystrokes. Start typing and it searches as you go, returning up to 25 matches. Exact title matches rank first, then titles that start with what you typed, then titles that contain it, then everything else. Ties go to the most recently updated document. Each row shows a file icon, the label Doc, the document title, and when it was last updated. The first row is highlighted as soon as results arrive, and the highlighted row shows Enter on the right. The footer repeats those hints and shows the result count. Selecting a result opens the document in place, without a full page load. Deleted documents never appear in results.
