Global Search

Global search lets you find any block in your workspace instantly. It supports keyboard-driven navigation, live preview, and bulk actions like tagging search results.

Open global search from the toolbar or with the search shortcut cmd+k or ctrl+k.

Searching

Start typing to search across all blocks in your workspace. Results update as you type, showing:

  • Block title
  • Thumbnail preview (for files/images)
  • Matching text highlighted

You can narrow your search to a specific context:

  • Search within a specific tag or block's children
  • Scope is shown as a breadcrumb above the search input
  • Press Backspace on an empty search field to remove the scope
