Saner.ai’s Search System helps you quickly find notes, tasks, and documents - even when you don’t remember exact words.

Search supports both exact keywords and natural language, so you can search the way you think.


How search works in Saner.AI

Saner uses two types of search: full-text and semantic, depending on how you phrase your query.

1. Full-text search (exact keywords)

Full-text search looks for exact word matches across:

  • Note titles

  • Note content

  • Note metadata (such as tags)

Use this when you:

  • Remember specific words, names, or phrases

  • Want precise, literal matches

Example:
Searching for OKRs Q2 will return notes that contain those exact terms.


2. Semantic (AI) search (by meaning)

Semantic search understands meaning, not just exact words.

You can:

  • Describe what you’re looking for

  • Ask a question in natural language

  • Search by idea, topic, or intent

Saner will return relevant notes even if they don’t contain the same wording.

Example:

  • “Notes about our pricing discussion last month”

  • “Ideas related to user onboarding problems”

This is useful when:

  • You don’t remember exact wording

  • You want to explore how notes relate to each other


Refine your search results

You can narrow results using filters and sorting options in the “Search” feature

Filters

  • Folder – limit results to a specific folder

  • Tags – show only notes with selected tags

  • Tasks – search for tasks only

  • Date – filter by creation date or time range

Sorting options

  • Best matches – ranked by relevance

  • Newest first / Oldest first – based on creation or last edit date


Recent searches

Saner automatically saves your recent searches, so you can quickly return to queries you use often without retyping them.
