Notebook Search

Notebook Search adds a search box above the notebook list on the Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) home page. Type part of a name and the list shrinks to the notebooks that match.

Why search notebooks here?​

Once you have many notebooks, scrolling gets slow. A search box is like asking a librarian for one book by its title.

How to search for a notebook​

  1. Open the page that lists all your notebooks. You see All notebooks near the top.
  2. Click the Search notebooks… box. It says "powered by Kortex" underneath.
  3. Type part of a name. The list shrinks to the notebooks that match.
  4. Click the notebook you want. To start over, click the x in the box.

Good to know​

  • It matches the notebook's name, and ignores capital letters.
  • Next to the box there are also a Collections menu and a Sort button.
  • This is free on every plan.

How do I search all my NotebookLM notebooks and their sources?​

Use the Kortex dashboard. Press / or Ctrl+K to open the command palette. It searches notebooks, collections, tags, podcasts, sources and Kortex notes. From three letters it also adds related notebooks, matched by meaning.
