After three letters, it also adds related notebooks by meaning. ## What you get - ### One box for everything You do not need to open notebooks to find the source you remember. Type a few letters and the matches show up in groups. - ### Finds by meaning, not only by name After three letters, Kortex adds Related notebook matches below the exact ones. It picks them by meaning. - ### A command palette as well With nothing typed, the box lists commands. Go to any view, create a notebook, collection or podcast, or switch light and dark mode. - ### Narrow one notebook too Inside a notebook, a source search bar and saved source views shorten a long list of sources to the ones you want. ## How do I open the search box? Open it from anywhere in the Kortex Workspace with **Ctrl+K** (**Cmd+K** on a Mac) or **/**. Typing searches notebooks, collections, tags, podcasts and episodes, sources and Kortex notes. After three letters, Kortex adds **Related notebook** matches. It picks them by meaning, not by exact words. ## Commands too With nothing typed, the same box is a command palette. It lists commands to go to any view, create a notebook, collection or podcast, and settings such as light or dark mode, row density and the keyboard shortcuts. Other keys work without opening it. Press **g** then **n**, **s**, **p**, **a**, **c** or **f** to go to Notebooks, Sources, Podcasts, Automation, Collections or Favorites. **c** then **n**, **c** or **p** creates a notebook, collection or podcast. **Ctrl+R** refreshes the data. ## Can I search inside one notebook? On a notebook’s page in Gemini Notebook, the Kortex bar adds a source search bar and **Source views**. The chips filter the source list: **All**, **PDFs**, **GDocs**, **Web**, **Text** and **YouTube**. **Save View** keeps the filter and which sources are ticked. You can bring it back in one click. ## Filtering the tables The notebook and source tables have their own **Filter**, by name, tag or highlight color. They also have sorting and column choice. Use search to go to one thing. Use filters to work through many. See [tags](/features/tags-and-source-labels) and the [Workspace](/features/kortex-workspace). ## How it works Want every step?
