What are the three search modes?Copied!Link to this section

Search gives you three modes to choose from:

Mode

What it searches

Here

The specific file or folder you currently have open

Titles

File and folder names across your whole workspace

Everything

Both file names and content across your whole workspace

You can switch between modes using the tabs at the top of the search modal.

Here searches inside the file or folder you're currently viewing.

  • In a folder: searches the names of files inside that folder
  • In a board or doc: searches the content of that file

Shortcut: Cmd + F (Mac) or Ctrl + F (Windows/Linux) opens Here search directly.

Titles searches the names of all files and folders in your workspace that you have access to, including:

  • Your own private files
  • Files shared with the workspace
  • Files in teams you are a member of
  • Files shared directly with you

It does not return results from other workspaces, or files in other members' private sections that haven't been shared with you.

Shortcut: Cmd + J (Mac) or Ctrl + J (Windows/Linux) defaults to Titles search.

Everything searches both the names and content of all accessible files and folders in your workspace. This is the broadest search available.

Keyboard shortcut to switch to Everything: After you've already typed a query in the search modal, you can use Cmd + Option + Enter (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + Enter (Windows/Linux) to switch to search Everything.

The search modal lets you navigate through all search results using the arrow keys or mouse click without losing context. The modal stays open so you can move between matches and jump to the right result.

What does search include and exclude?Copied!Link to this section

Search includes files, folders, and content you have permission to view.

Search excludes:

  • Files or folders in other workspaces
  • Private sections belonging to other members that haven't been shared with you
