Search in note

Local search allows you to search within the currently displayed note. 

Alternatives#

• Pressing Ctrl+F while in a browser while not focused in a Text or a Code note will trigger the browser's native search. This will also find text that is part of Trilium's UI.
• Pressing Ctrl+F in a Text note will reveal CKEditor's search functionality.

Accessing the search#

• On desktop, pressCtrl + F
• From the Note buttons, look for the context menu and select Search in note.

Interaction#

• Finding:
  • Fill in the Find in text… with the text to search for.
  • The search will be executed automatically in the background.
  • Use up and down arrows of the text box to navigate between results.
• Replacing:
  • Fill in the Find in text… field with the text to replace.
  • Fill in the Replace with… field the text to replace it with.
  • Press Replace to replace only the current result.
  • Press Replace all to replace all of them at once.
• Options:
  • Case sensitive – the search will distinguish upper case characters from lower case (e.g. searching for Hello will not match hello).
  • Match words - the search will find only exact word matches (e.g. searching for Java will not match JavaScript).
