Using Search

Every conversation, file, task, or event is searchable in Ledger. To make searching easier, Ledger has two search fields: Global and Quick Search.

• Global search is located on your sidebar.
• Quick search is located in the top right of any window.

How to use global search

Use global search to search for streams, tasks, and events all across the workspace.

1. Click the global search field from the sidebar.
2. Type what you're looking for into the command palette. To narrow the search, use filters.
3. Select an option from the list.

Global search filters

To use the filters:

1. Click the global search field from the sidebar.
2. Enter the filter before your search keyword (e.g., #documentation).
3. Select an option from the list.

How to use quick search

Use quick search to search for information specific to the window you're currently viewing. You can make a quick search from a stream (chat, task, calendar, file), the global tabs (Activity, Tasks, Events, Messages, Saved), or stream tabs (All Streams, Favorites, folders).

1. Select a space to do a quick search. Any window or tab has a quick search field in the top right.
2. Type what you're looking for into the search field.

Ledger modifies your window to display only the information that meets your search keyword.

How to search files from a task or event

Searching for files from a stream's Files tab is one option. But if you know exactly which task or event the file you're looking for is attached to, try this.

1. Select the task or event.
2. Click Files.
3. Click the magnifying glass icon.
4. Type what you're looking for into the search field.

The list is modified to show only the files that meet your search keyword.
