Full-Text Search

Find anything across your entire vault instantly. The search index covers note content, titles, tags, and front matter.

MoreInfo indexes your entire vault and keeps the index in sync as you write. Search results appear as you type with no delay, even across thousands of notes.

Opening Search

Press ⌘F to open the global search panel. The cursor moves to the search field and results populate immediately. Press Escape to close.

To search within the current note only, use ⌘G (find in file).

What Gets Indexed

  • Note titles
  • Note body content (all Markdown, including inside code blocks)
  • Front matter values (title, tags, aliases, and any custom keys)
  • Annotation text (TODO, FIXME, NOTE, IDEA)

The search index lives in your vault's SQLite cache file. It is rebuilt automatically from scratch if you delete the cache.

Search Syntax

Query Finds
meeting notes Notes containing both words (anywhere, any order)
"exact phrase" Notes containing the exact phrase
title:roadmap Notes with "roadmap" in the title only
tag:work Notes tagged with "work"
-draft Notes that do not contain "draft"
section:getting-started Notes with that front matter key/value

Combine operators freely:

title:Q2 "revenue targets" -draft tag:finance

Navigating Results

Results show a title and a snippet of context around each match, with the search term highlighted. Click a result to open the note — the search term is also highlighted in the editor at every occurrence.

Use / arrows to move through results without leaving the search panel. Press Enter to open the selected result.

Search as Navigation

Because search is instant, many users prefer it over the sidebar for navigating their vault entirely by title. Press ⌘F, type the first few letters of a note name, and Enter — faster than clicking through a folder hierarchy.
