Search is the fastest way back to a note, and like everything else in LocalBrain it runs entirely on your machine.
Open it
Press Cmd K (or Ctrl K) for quick search, or Cmd F to search inside content. Start typing and results appear instantly.
How it works
LocalBrain matches filenames first, then scans the contents of your notes, and ranks what it finds so the closest matches come first. Nothing is uploaded. There is no remote index and no query leaves your device.
Beyond exact matches
Search is for when you know what you are looking for. When you do not, the app surfaces related notes and connections as you work, and compiled context pages gather everything about a project in one place, so a note you never searched for can still find you.
