Getting started

Search and go anywhere

Find a topic, open any page, or add a topic or an exam from the search.

Open the search with Search in the navigation (on a phone, at the top of Today, Topics, Exams and Explore), or press Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac) anywhere except in a study session.

Before you type anything, it shows your pinned topics. Then it finds:

  • Topics: every topic you have that isn’t archived or in the trash, by its name or by the names of the topics it’s in, so you can tell subtopics with the same name apart.
  • Go to: Today, Topics, Exams, Explore, Study, your profile, Friends, Settings, the archive and the trash.
  • Actions: New topic, New exam, Theme, Help center and Keyboard shortcuts.

New topic asks for the name, icon and color right in the search, starting with whatever you typed, and opens the new topic. Theme lets you pick System, Light or Dark. Help center opens the help in a new tab.

Use the arrow keys to move through the results and Enter to open one. In a step such as New topic, Esc or Backspace in the empty field takes you back. Anywhere else, Esc closes the search.
