Search and Discovery

Memolane's search helps you find anything you've captured — even words spoken in voice notes.

How search works

Type any word or phrase into the search bar. Memolane searches across:

• Note content — every word you've written
• Link titles and URLs — pages you've saved
• Voice transcripts — words spoken in audio memos (automatically transcribed)
• Tags — labels you've applied to items
• Collections — notebook names and descriptions

Search tips

Use natural language

Search the way you think. "restaurant lisbon" finds that list from your trip. "investor call notes" surfaces the voice memo from last Thursday.

Recent results rank higher

Memolane prioritizes recent captures. The meeting summary from yesterday appears before the one from six months ago, even if both match your query.

Filter by type

Narrow results using type filters:

• type:note — text notes only
• type:link — saved URLs
• type:voice — voice memos
• type:screenshot — images

Search within a collection

Open any collection and use the search bar to search only within that collection. Useful for finding a specific item in a large project notebook.

Voice note search

Voice memos are automatically transcribed after upload. Search works on the transcript, not just the file name. Say it, save it, find it later — even if you never type a word.

Transcription typically completes within seconds. You'll see a "transcribing..." indicator while processing happens in the background.
