Searching

How do I use full-text search to find a particular document?

Reader has blazingly fast, full-text offline search built-in by default on both web and mobile. Click the magnifying glass or use the keyboard shortcut / to begin searching the full-text of the document, its title, and its author.

How do I find specific text within a document?

On web, you can find text within a document by using Cmd/Ctrl + F. On mobile, you can find text within a document by tapping the more menu (...) in the bottom right and choosing Find in document.

How do I filter my full-text searches?

Currently, filtered views and full-text search are distinct features. That said, it's on our roadmap to merge the two features so you can use query or parameter-based subsetting as part of searching.

How do I use full-text search to find a PDF?

Currently, the full-text of PDFs are not being indexed so matching PDFs will not appear in full-text search results yet. That said, it's on our roadmap to index PDFs and include those in search.
