Search & command palette

Find anything across every item type instantly, by keyword, tag, or the ⌘K command palette.

Everything you save is searchable in one place: bookmarks, notes, files (including extracted text), and voice notes (including transcripts).

Searching

The field at the top of the library does two jobs:

  • Press Enter to search titles, content, tags, and extracted/transcribed text.
  • Press Ask (or ⌘ + Enter, Ctrl + Enter on Windows/Linux) to send the same text to Ask your library as a question.
  • Press / anywhere on the library page to jump to the field.
  • Narrow results with the type chips (Pages, Notes, Files, Voice), a tag, or a collection.

Command palette (⌘K)

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) to open the command palette, an instant, cross-type search plus quick navigation to any section. It's the fastest way to jump to a specific save or a part of the app without leaving the keyboard.

Natural-language questions

For questions rather than lookups ("what did I decide about pricing?"), use Ask your library, which answers from your content with citations instead of returning a list of links.

Tip

Search covers text SortlyAI has extracted: a PDF you uploaded is findable by its contents, and a podcast you transcribed is findable by what was said in it.
