Docs / Search & export

Search & export

Find anything across every note, and take your notes with you.

Full-text search

Press Ctrl+Shift+F to search across all your notes at once — it stays fast even with thousands of notes. Search offers several matching modes:

• Contains — the default substring match
• Word — whole-word matching
• Anchored — matches from the start
• Regex — full regular-expression matching for precise queries

There’s no index to build or maintain — search just works.

Find & replace in a note

Press Ctrl+F for a fast in-note find that highlights every match as you type, with the first match after your cursor shown as the active match. Enter or Up/Down jump between matches without leaving the search box; Esc drops the cursor right after the active match.

Toggle Match Case, Whole Word and Regex, and expand to Replace / Replace All (Ctrl+H) with optional case preservation — every replacement is undoable.

Export

When you want a note to leave Notulee, you can export it as:

• Plain text (.txt)
• Markdown (.md)
• a URL scheme link
• or zip up everything at once into a single archive

Exports are produced locally — your notes go exactly where you send them, and nowhere else.

Because every note is already a plain Markdown file on your disk, you can also just copy, sync or version-control the notes folder directly — see Your notes on disk.
