# Search Notebooks on the NotebookLM Home Page


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.
1. Click the **Search notebooks…** box. It says "powered by Kortex" underneath.
1. Type part of a name. The list shrinks to the notebooks that match.
1. 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.
