Search your files
The Search screen finds files across your library. Type a query and results stream in as cards. Click a card to jump straight to that file in All Files.
The four search modes
Section titled “The four search modes”A row of pills above the search box picks how Curator matches your query.
| Mode | What it matches |
|---|---|
| All | Filename and content together. The default catch-all. |
| Filename | Only the names of your files. |
| Content | The text inside your files. |
| Semantic | Meaning, not exact words. It finds files about an idea even when they never use your search terms. |
Semantic search uses embeddings, which are a numeric representation of meaning. A search for “quarterly revenue” can surface a file titled “Q3 earnings” because the two are close in meaning, not because the words match.
Search across every source
Section titled “Search across every source”By default, Search looks inside the current storage source. Switch the Storage Source selector to All Sources and Search runs across every source at once. See Manage storage sources.
Quick search with Cmd+K
Section titled “Quick search with Cmd+K”Press Cmd + K from anywhere in the app to open quick search. It searches filenames and full text and shows up to 8 instant results. It is the fastest way to reach a file without leaving what you are doing.
[!NOTE] Semantic mode needs processed files and an Embeddings model assigned in Settings. Without them, semantic search returns nothing. See How processing works and Models.
