features
MoreInfo indexes your entire datastore and keeps the index in sync as you write. Search results appear as you type with no delay, even across thousands of notes.
Press ⌘F to open the global search panel. The cursor moves to the search field and results populate immediately. Press Escape to close.
Press ⌘G to open the find bar at the top of the current note. As you type, all matches in the document are highlighted and everything else dims. The bar shows a 1 of N count and ↑/↓ buttons to step through each occurrence. Press ⌘G again (or Enter) to advance to the next match, ⇧Enter to go back. Press Escape or the × button to close.
Find in note is separate from the global search widget and only searches the page currently open in the editor.
The search index lives in your datastore's SQLite cache file. It is rebuilt automatically from scratch if you delete the cache.

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