actualNoteContentPart: ## 🔍 Search Agent
  Looking to find all the historical notes that you have taken on a specific topic? AmpleAI Search Agent helps you tap into the cumulative wisdom & experience of your past selves. Open it via the slash menu with [/search](https://images.amplenote.com/2ad443c6-d311-11ed-86b6-ae0a3a93a150/e129ac08-5ecf-4f30-934a-627d02f07fe1.png) , or trigger Quick Open (Cmd-O or Ctrl-O) and start typing "search" to find the AI Search Agent option from AmpleAI. After opening Search Agent, you'll get a handful of optional fields. All you need to fill out is a couple words in the first field, but you have the option to tailor your search results more precisely if you choose additional options:
  
  
  Options to control which notes are returned by search
  
  
  After triggering a search, Amplenote's agent will run through a series of steps to generate likely keywords for the input you gave, then collect the notes that best align with what you requested. You can click under the "Plugins" heading on the "AmpleAI" link to see how progress is coming on your search. Most searches takes around 30 seconds to complete. When the search is complete, you'll see the "Plugin Activity" spinner disappear, and AmpleAI will generate a note to summarize the best matches it could find.
  
  
  Perusing notes most relevant to the query, though few include the original query in them
  
  
  If you don't get the notes you hoped for, you can always try again with a different agent, assuming you have used the Add Provider API key slash menu or "Quick Open" option to add API keys for more than one LLM. They all have distinct ideas about how to decompose your input, so there can be interesting variations when searching on a topic that has many possible matches. Consider returning more than 10 notes if you're trying to undertake deep research on a topic you've written about extensively.
  
  Use it to:
  **Link together research/topics **([no tags required](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2c3XhuUDkI) ). Search Agent's summary notes are an "[AI auto-tagger]() " on steroids. If you don't delete it, the table of note links that are generated in your search result will be visible from the backlinks of every result note. This ensures that (in addition to making related notes more findable), when you view any of the notes in [Graph Pane](https://www.amplenote.com/help/note_graph) , related content is nestled together
  **Discover poorly named/untagged notes**. You're about to start writing a note, when you sudden get the feeling you've written about a similar topic before. The problem is, you have no idea what name you gave to that note. Search Agent to the rescue: it will look for several permutations of whatever detail you provide.
  **Be lazier about naming your notes**. Related to the previous point: since Search Agent can find any related notes even if the note title is spartan, you don't need to spend extra time on the chore of trying to brainstorm every possible keyword for a note you want to find later. For example, if you title your note "Christmas 2027" and you later search for "Gift ideas," Search Agent will link to the "Christmas 2027" note as having content related to "Gift Ideas." That means any time you look up "gift ideas" in Quick Open in the future, you'll find a note (the search summary) that guides you to your "Christmas 2027" note.
