Searching
Use the search in the top bar — click it or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) — and type a word or phrase you remember.What the search bar matches
The search bar matches words in note titles and text. Try a distinctive word or phrase you remember. For help finding related notes by meaning, see the chat agent.Searching a meeting
Try words from the meeting note’s title or written content. If you remember when the meeting happened, you can also look through your meeting notes and open the transcript there.Asking rather than searching
When you’re not looking for a note but for an answer, the chat agent searches your notes for you and answers from what it finds — useful for questions like “what did we decide about pricing?” that span several notes. Each note also has its own chat panel, scoped to just that note. See the chat agent.If a note doesn’t turn up
- Check it was saved at all. With Data Retention turned off, dictations are pasted but never stored — see what we store.
- Try a phrase from the middle of it rather than the title. Titles are often auto-generated and may not say what you remember.
- If a dictation went missing rather than a note, there’s a specific recovery path — see recover a lost dictation.
