Quickly fuzzysearch notes, cards and their content and shift focus to them within the currently opened canvas.

  • Overview

  • Updates4

Just install, set a shortcut for the search modal action, then you can use it to fuzzy-search and navigate within your canvas page.

Settings

You can search note titles only or include note contents in the fuzzy search, but this can potentially slow you down if your canvas is very large as it is not optimized at all.

About
Search and jump to nodes inside your canvas with a fuzzy-search modal. Locate nodes by title or include note contents for deeper matches and navigate directly within the canvas. Avoid including contents on very large canvases to prevent slowdowns.
