`search_notes`

Search the notes

Reads only

Description

What the model reads, word for word:

Searches the notes for a word or phrase and returns the matching passages.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	`string`	yes	The text to look for. Plain text by default, so brackets, dots and quotation marks mean themselves. Lower case searches ignore capitalisation; a capital letter in the query makes it count.
`path`	`string`		Folder or file to search, relative to the vault root, for example “projects/apollo”. Leave it out to search the whole vault.
`regex`	`boolean`		Read the query as a regular expression instead of as plain text. Default `false`.
`limit`	`integer`		How many matches to return. Fewer means a shorter answer. At least 1. At most 100. Default `20`.
`offset`	`integer`		How many matches to skip. An answer with more after it names the next offset. Default `0`.
`repo`	`"handbook" \| "projects"`		The repository this call works in. One of the repositories the person can read; the values above are Acme’s.

Result

As structuredContent and, the same, as a text block.

`matches`	`object[]`
`matches[].path`	`string`	Path of the note, relative to the vault root.
`matches[].line`	`number`	Line number of the match, counting from 1.

`matches[].repo`	`string`
`offset`	`number`	How many matches were skipped before this page.
