Where to find it
Bottom navigation → Search.
What you can do
- Type a query. Keyword results appear as you type (with a small debounce).
- Toggle "By meaning" to switch to semantic search. Results only appear after you press Enter (to keep usage sane).
- Filter by type: thoughts, tasks, or both.
- Filter by category: one of the nine domains (Work, Health, Home, Relationships, Money, Learning, Fun, Meaning, Tech).
- Filter by emotion: opens a sheet grouped by Positive / Neutral / Negative. Tap a group to add all its emotions, or drill down to pick specific ones (42 in total).
- Filter by date range: Today, Tomorrow, This week, Next week, This month, Next month, or a custom range.
- Tap a recent search chip to re-run it. Clear with the X.
- Tap a result to open the entry.
Good to know
- Keyword search is local. It reads your cached entries, results are instant and work offline. It looks inside titles, tags, summaries, and saved transcript text.
- Semantic search is a cloud call. It costs tokens, so it's rate-limited to protect capacity. If you hit the limit you'll see "Rate limit exceeded. Please wait a few minutes.", just wait and try again.
- Semantic results are re-ranked by tag match, domain match, recency, and importance, so a slightly less "similar" but clearly more relevant entry can rise.
- Recent searches are remembered between sessions and saved locally on your phone only.
- For mood-based filtering, use the emotion filter (grouped by valence). Typing an emoji into the search box filters by the word, not by emotional semantics.
Plan & limits
No plan gating for either mode. Semantic search has a per-hour safety rate limit that applies to all plans.
