How to use search on your Digital Paper
Find your content in seconds, across titles, handwritten notes, and document content.
What is search?
The search function on your Digital Paper helps you locate specific files or content quickly, without scrolling through long lists or documents. Whether you're looking for a notebook title, a handwritten annotation, or a line of text buried deep in a PDF, search makes your work faster, more efficient, and more organized.
Why use search?
- Save time: Jump directly to the file or page you need
- Stay organized: Find specific notes across large documents
- Search handwriting: Locate handwritten annotations, converted text, and more
- Keep focus: No need to interrupt your flow to hunt down past notes
Where can you search?
There are two main places to search from:
1. Home screen search
Best for finding entire files or folders.
You can search for:
- File and folder names
- Handwritten annotations
- Notes and comments within PDFs and eBooks
2. In-document search
Best for finding information within a single document.
In notebooks, PDFs, and eBooks, you can search for:
- Full document text (e.g., article or eBook content)
- Handwritten content
- Highlights and comments
How to use the search bar
You can search using either:
- Keyboard: Tap Write to search to open the keyboard
- Handwriting: Write with your Digital Pen. Your input is automatically converted to text
Tip: Matches are prioritized by title first, then by in-document content.
Tips for an accurate search
- Use clear and specific keywords
- Search terms are not case-sensitive
- Wait for the handwriting-to-text conversion to complete before continuing
