List all notes that contain a given keyword. The result does not include entire note bodies as they are truncated in 200 characters. You have to retrieve the full note content by calling read-note. Here are tips to specify keywords effectively:

Use special qualifiers to narrow down results

You can use special qualifiers to get more accurate results. See the qualifiers and their usage examples:

• book
  book:Blog: Searches for notes in the 'Blog' notebook.
• tag
  tag:JavaScript: Searches for all notes having the 'JavaScript' tag. Read more about tags.
• status
  status:onHold: Searches for all notes with the 'On hold' status. Read more about statuses.
• title
  title:"JavaScript setTimeout": Searches for the note with the specified title.
• body
  body:KEYWORD: Searches for a specific word in all notes. Equivalent to a global search.

Combine qualifiers

You can combine the filter qualifiers to refine data even more.

Find notes that contain the word 'Hello' and have the 'Issue' tag.

Find notes that contain the word 'Typescript,' have the 'Contribution' tag, and the 'Completed' status

Search for text with spaces

To find the text that includes spaces, put the text into the double quotation marks ("):

Exclude text from search

To exclude text from the search results or ignore a specific qualifier, put the minus sign (-) before it. You can also combine the exclusions. See the examples:

• -book:Backend "closure functions": Ignores the 'Backend' notebook while searching for the 'closure functions' phrase.
• -tag:JavaScript: Ignores all notes having the 'JavaScript' tag.
• -book:Typescript tag:work "Data types": Ignores the 'Typescript' notebook and the 'work' tag while searching for the 'Data types' phrase.
• -status:dropped title:"Sprint 10.0" debounce: Ignores notes with the 'Dropped' status while searching for the 'debounce' word in the note with the 'Sprint 10.0' title.
• -"Phrase to ignore" "in the rest of a sentence": Ignores the 'Phrase to ignore' part while searching for 'in the rest of a sentence'.

Note that you can't specify excluding modifiers only without including conditions.

WARNING: Make sure to enter a text to search for after the exclusion modifier.
