Searching your notes

Type what you remember. Words and meaning are matched together, and the passage with your words is shown highlighted.

Type in the box at the top of the list and press Enter, or the check next to the box. The search runs in your own Opensolr Index, by words, and by meaning too when you turn on the sparkle next to the box (off when the app is new), the same way search.opensolr.com searches.

  • By the words: a name, a number, an address, a host name is found as written.
  • By the meaning: “where did I put the router password” finds the home server note that never used the word router.
  • The passage, highlighted. Each result shows the part of the note where your words are, with the words marked.

The X clears the search and brings the list back. The arrow next to the box opens the filters. Above the results, AI Hints answers your search from the notes it found.

01 · Words only

The sparkle next to the search box, lit when on, switches the meaning on and off and runs the search again; it is the same switch as Settings → AI → Search by meaning. Off, the search matches words only, and uses no AI requests. With it on, each search counts against the AI use of your plan.

02 · Deleting from the results

Press and hold a result to pick it, keep your finger down and drag to pick the results in between, then tap Delete in the top bar and confirm. It works as in the list.

03 · How the words and the meaning are weighed

The app searches with the Search Tuning your index has in the Opensolr control panel. See Search Tuning.
