# Search

> Find any memory block instantly with full-text search and fuzzy tag matching.

Promptr's search runs across your entire memory block library (titles, content, descriptions, and metadata) using full-text keyword matching with fuzzy support for tags and creator names.

***

## Opening global search

Press `Cmd K` (Mac) or `Ctrl K` (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the Promptr web app to open the search overlay. You can also click the search icon in the sidebar.

The overlay opens as a modal in the center of the screen with the input focused and ready to type.

## How search works

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Full-text search" icon="text">
    Searches memory block titles and content for exact and partial keyword matches. Works best for short, specific queries: a word or two from a block's title, or a term you know appears in the content.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fuzzy tag matching" icon="tag">
    Finds blocks by tag even when the tag name isn't typed exactly. Also supports filtering by creator name to narrow results in shared team spaces.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  If you can't find a block by exact title, try searching for a distinctive word from its content, or use the tag and creator filters to narrow down results.
</Tip>

## Filtering search results

After typing a query, a filter bar appears below the search input. You can narrow results by:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="By block type">
    Show only **Context**, **Instruction**, or **Prompt** blocks. Useful when you know the kind of block you're looking for.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="By space">
    Restrict results to one or more specific spaces. Helpful when you have many spaces and know roughly where the block lives.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="By tag">
    Filter to blocks that have a particular tag. You can select multiple tags. Results must match at least one of the selected tags.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="By creator">
    In shared workspaces, filter to blocks created by a specific team member.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

All filters can be combined. Click **Clear** to remove all active filters at once.

### Keyboard navigation

Once results appear, use the keyboard to navigate without touching the mouse:

| Key       | Action                          |
| --------- | ------------------------------- |
| `↑` / `↓` | Move up or down through results |
| `Enter`   | Open the selected block         |
| `Esc`     | Close the search overlay        |

***

## Recent searches

When you open the search overlay without typing anything, Promptr shows your **Recent Searches**: up to 5 of your most recent queries, displayed with a relative timestamp ("Today", "Yesterday", "3 days ago").

Click any recent search to re-run it instantly. To remove an entry, hover over it and click the **×** that appears on the right.

Promptr stores up to 20 recent searches per workspace, automatically removing the oldest ones when the limit is reached. A search is saved when you click a result.

***

## Search results

Each result card shows:

* Block title (with keyword matches highlighted)
* A **snippet** from the block content showing the most relevant excerpt
* Block type, space, tags, creator, and usage count (configurable via the **Properties** dropdown)

Click any result to open the block's full editor page.

## Search in the extension

The **Browse** tab in the browser extension includes a **Tags** filter for narrowing blocks within a space. For full-text search across all spaces from the extension, use the [Enhance tab](/guides/using-the-extension#enhance-tab). As you type in the AI tool's input, Promptr automatically searches your blocks and surfaces matching results in real time.
