Search looks through your saved links, your feed entries, your highlights and the transcripts of audio and video. Type words and press Enter.

Steps​

  1. Open Search from the sidebar, or press G then S.

  2. Type your words in the box and press Enter, or press Search. The button stays off until you type something.

    Search results for a word, with matches highlighted.
  3. Read the count above the results. Each result shows its kind (bookmark, feed entry, highlight or transcript), the words that matched, your notes and your tags. A badge tells you when the words were found only in the article text.

  4. To limit the kinds of results, use the chips under the box: All, Bookmarks, Feed entries, Highlights and Transcripts. Each chip shows how many results it holds.

  5. To limit by time, choose Past month, Past week or Past year next to Date. To change the order, use Sort: Relevance, Date saved, Last visited or Title.

  6. For more control, press Advanced.

    Search results with the Advanced panel open: fields to search in, domains, tags, dates and switches.

    There you choose which parts to search (Search in), name domains and tags, give a date range, and switch on options such as Starred only, Include archived and Deep match (article body). Deep match also looks inside the extracted article text.

  7. To open a result, press it. A feed entry opens in the reader. A saved link opens the original page in a new tab.

  8. To keep a search, press Save search above the results. See Saved searches.

  • When nothing matches, the page offers to search each word on its own, and a link to find feeds.
  • Press Ask your library to turn your words into a question for your library. The number of answers per month differs by plan: see Plan limits.
  • If transcripts are slow, the page says so and shows the rest; press the retry link to include them again.
