Search everywhere

Using search

1. Press Cmd/Ctrl+F

   Or click the magnifier in the top bar — it’s there on iPhone and iPad, too.

2. Type a few letters

   Results appear as you type — case-insensitive, across all folders of the workspace, not just the one you’re in.

3. Click a result

   visualOS navigates to that folder and animates to the element, selecting it so you can’t miss it.

What’s searched

Practically all text your elements carry: note and text content, element names and folder titles, document titles, to-do tasks, link titles and URLs, image captions. Every result shows its folder path, so you see the where along with the what.

What it’s really for

• Retrieval: “I wrote that idea down three weeks ago” — type two words from it, done. This is why writing things down on the canvas is safe: nothing is ever lost to structure.
• Navigation: often faster than clicking through levels — search the folder’s name and jump.
• Loose ends: search a client’s name to sweep every mention across all projects.
