Search

The Logbook App provides powerful search capabilities to help you find entries quickly.

Type words into the search bar to find matching entries. Search runs inside the space and covers the full text of every entry in it.

  • Whole words. Each word you type is matched as a word, so proj does not find "project". Type the word you are looking for.
  • Every word must match, so adding a word narrows the results.
  • Punctuation is ignored, quotation marks included — there is no separate phrase syntax, and typing one changes nothing.
  • Results are ranked by relevance, with the matching part of the entry shown in the result.

Filtering

Filters narrow a search, and work on their own if you leave the search box empty:

  • Tags: one or more
  • Categories: one or more
  • Logbook: limit the search to a single logbook

You can also switch between matching all of your filters and any of them.

Tips

  • Start with one word and add another if there is too much to read
  • When you know roughly where something is, a logbook or category filter gets there faster than more words
  • Filters with no search text are a good way to browse — "everything tagged handover", for instance
