Search type | Description | Example
------------|-------------|---------
Single word | Returns all the notes that contain this term. | For example, searching for `cat` will return all the notes that contain this exact word. Note: it will not return the notes that contain the substring - thus, for "cat", notes that contain "cataclysmic" or "prevaricate" will **not** be returned.
Multiples words | Returns all the notes that contain **all** these words, but not necessarily next to each other. | `dog cat` - will return any notes that contain the words "dog" and "cat" anywhere in the note, no necessarily in that order nor next to each other. It will **not** return results that contain "dog" or "cat" only.
Phrase query | Add double quotes to return the notes that contain exactly this phrase. | `"shopping list"` - will return the notes that contain these **exact terms** next to each other and in this order. It will **not** return for example a note that contains "going shopping with my list".
Multiple word | Returns all the notes that contain **all** these words, but not necessarily next to each other. | `dog cat` - will return any notes that contain the words "dog" and "cat" anywhere in the note, no necessarily in that order nor next to each other. It will **not** return results that contain "dog" or "cat" only.
Phrase | Add double quotes to return the notes that contain exactly this phrase. | `"shopping list"` - will return the notes that contain these **exact terms** next to each other and in this order. It will **not** return for example a note that contains "going shopping with my list".
Prefix | Add a wildcard to return all the notes that contain a term with a specified prefix. | `swim*` - will return all the notes that contain eg. "swim", but also "swimming", "swimsuit", etc. IMPORTANT: The wildcard **can only be at the end** - it will be ignored at the beginning of a word (eg. `*swim`) and will be treated as a literal asterisk in the middle of a word (eg. `ast*rix`)
Field restricted | Add either `title:` or `body:` before a note to restrict your search to just the title, or just the body. | `title:shopping`, `body:egg`
Switch to basic search | One drawback of Full Text Search is that it ignores most non-alphabetical characters. However in some cases you might want to search for this too. To do that, you can use basic search. You switch to this mode by prefixing your search with a slash `/`. This won't provide the benefits of FTS but it will allow searching exactly for what you need. Note that it can also be much slower, even extremely slow, depending on your query. | `/"- [ ]"` - will return all the notes that contain unchecked checkboxes.
