Local search allows you to search within the currently displayed note.

## Alternatives

- Pressing Ctrl+F while in a browser while not focused in a Text or a Code note will trigger the browser's native search. This will also find text that is part of Trilium's UI.
- Pressing Ctrl+F in a Text note will reveal CKEditor's search functionality.

## Accessing the search

- On desktop, press`Ctrl` + `F`
- From the Note buttons, look for the context menu and select Search in note.

## Interaction

- Finding:
  - Fill in the Find in text… with the text to search for.
  - The search will be executed automatically in the background.
  - Use up and down arrows of the text box to navigate between results.
- Replacing:
  - Fill in the Find in text… field with the text to replace.
  - Fill in the Replace with… field the text to replace it with.
  - Press Replace to replace only the current result.
  - Press Replace all to replace all of them at once.
- Options:
  - Case sensitive – the search will distinguish upper case characters from lower case (e.g. searching for Hello will not match `hello`).
  - Match words - the search will find only exact word matches (e.g. searching for `Java` will not match `JavaScript`).
