  # Searching inside a note (find in note)
  ## Web and PWA: built-in browser search
  For those times when you're using our web client, all modern browsers offer a mechanism to find text in a page (usually Ctrl-F or Cmd-F to invoke). This feature has proved good enough for users living inside the web app and it continues to serve us well for quickly jumping to text inside long notes.
  
  ## Mobile and native desktop clients
  For people using the mobile apps or the native Windows/macOS/Linux clients, the "Search note..." option can be accessed behind the triple dot menu of a note -> “More options…” -> “Search note...”:
  
  
  Open triple dot for a note, then "More Options..." -> "Search Note"
  
  
  Unlike with a browser, this beefed up version of "Find in note" will also search Rich Footnotes for your search query. 💪
  
  # Searching for notes
  Amplenote offers two primary paths to searching for notes. 
  
  ## Best for most everyday uses: Quick Open
  We have a full page dedicated to the powerful Quick Open menu. [Check it out here](/help/organizing_notes_quick_search) .

  Quick Open can be invoked by the CMD - O hotkey on macOS or the Ctrl - O hotkey on Linux & Windows. When the window first opens, before you type anything, Quick Open remembers both notes and and modes that you've visited, for a unified experience browsing through your history:

  ## Best for finding seldom-accessed content: full text search
  As its name implies, "full text search" searches the full text of your note contents, including whatever text might have been recognized via OCR when you uploaded images. There is no hotkey to open full text search, you access it via the navigation. 
  
  **Accessing full text search on desktop:**
  > ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GPQnJQLaMAA8i3E?format=png&name=small) To access full text search, enter words into the input field labeled "Search notes". 
  "Full text search" looks in all auto-archived notes for matches. Auto-archived notes are not included in the standard note count shown before applying a search filter.
  
  **Accessing full text search on mobile:**

  The reason that we recommend preferring Quick Open to full text search is that the latter uses "fuzzy matching" to scan for results, which often makes for "noisier" results that are less relevant than the notes that are presented when using Quick Open.
  
  ### Excluding note content from note search results
  If you want to search for notes **based solely on their titles**, and not match your search query against note contents, use this toggle:
  
  
  
  
  
  ### Saved searches in Notes Mode
  Any combination of tags, groups and keywords can be saved to the shortcuts for easy finding later on. Check out [Saved Searches, Tag Shortcuts, and the Default Shortcut](/help/tag_shortcuts_default_tag_shortcut)  for more info.
  
  ## Searching from Graph Mode
  Quick open and full text search are also available in Graph Mode. You can switch between them using the toggle in the options menu:
  
  
  
  
  
  ## Filtering notes
  
  
  
  
  Whether you're using full text search of Quick Open, there is a slew of filtering options available. [Check out the documentation here](/help/search_filter_tags_groups) .
