Search and navigation

With no query, the document list is sorted newest first. Search uses SQLite FTS5. Folder, tag, and library filters apply to both browsing and search.

  • All shows non-ghost documents by default.
  • Uncategorized shows documents in no Astrolabe folder.
  • Result rows show kind, source copies, tags, and search snippets.
  • Click for details; double-click to open the first available source copy.
