Find in Page
Search the current note with ⌘+F. For global search, use the command palette instead.
Opening the Bar
Press ⌘+F while focused on a note. A floating bar appears at the top with:
- Query input
- Match counter (
3 of 12) - Up / down arrows
- Close button
Navigating Matches
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Next match | Enter or down arrow |
| Previous match | ⇧+Enter or up arrow |
| Close | Esc |
Matches are highlighted inline; the active match scrolls into view.
Case Sensitivity
The bar matches case-insensitively by default. Toggle case sensitivity from the bar's options menu.
Whole Word
Whole-word matching is also a toggle in the options menu.
Scope
Find-in-page is local to the current note. To search across notes, journals, tasks, and the inbox, open the command palette with ⌘+K.
Inside Embedded PDF Previews
PDF previews use their own embedded find — memrynote's find bar doesn't reach into them. Click into the PDF and use the embedded viewer's controls.
Performance
Find runs against the rendered document, so it sees what you see (including code blocks, list items, callout text). It does not cross block boundaries that aren't visually adjacent.
Typing in the bar is debounced: on a long note the matches update a moment after you stop typing rather than on every character. Whatever you typed last always gets searched, and pressing Enter or ⇧+Enter searches straight away instead of waiting. Editing the note while the bar is open re-runs the search too, so the match count and highlights stay in step with the text.
