Search

Search is not a second inbox. It’s useful when you already know some keywords and want to find tasks, projects, milestones, notes, or cards you wrote down in the past. When Local Semantic Search is enabled, search uses a local vector model to understand semantic similarity. When it is disabled, search falls back to ordinary text matching.

If you remember writing something like “when to empty the inbox,” you can search directly with keywords. If you don’t yet know what you’re looking for, go back to a task, project, or review list to narrow down the scope.

If you often remember the meaning but not the exact wording, read Local Semantic Search and Vector Models. It explains the local model, download size, storage precision, search precision, and multi-device setup.

| Situation | What to look at first | Next step | | --- | --- | --- | | You don’t know where to start | Current page title and main entry points | Pick only one item related to your current goal | | The result after an action is not what you expected | Status, empty state, access logs, or sync progress | Go back one level and check step by step | | You’re worried about affecting data | Backups, sync, account, or permissions info | Stop first, confirm the scope, then proceed |

Search results only tell you where something is. The next step is to go back to the original page and decide: should this record be acted on, archived, modified, or just used as a reference?

After reading this section, return to the task you are working on and pick only one small action to continue: take a note, check a status, or open the relevant settings to confirm something.
