> Press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to find memos, collections and files or run a command. The box on My memos searches your memos' full text.

# Find memos with search

Press **Cmd+K** (Ctrl+K on Windows), or click **Search** in the sidebar, and start typing. It finds memos, collections, notebooks and files you can open, and the same box jumps to pages and runs commands, so you can get anywhere without touching the sidebar. The point of keeping knowledge in Fieldwerk is that you, your team and your AI can all find it again; this is how you do it.

## Search for something

1. Press **Cmd+K**.

2. Type a few words. Memos match on their title; collections, notebooks and files match on their name. Before you type, the box shows your recent memos.

3. Use the arrow keys to pick a result and press **Enter** to open it.

Search only shows things you have access to. Archived memos still appear, shown dimmed, so nothing you've archived is lost.

To search inside memos, use the search box at the top of **My memos**. It searches the full text of the memos you own, titles first, and includes archived ones.

## Run a command

The same box runs commands. Type the name or pick from the list:

- **New memo** and **New collection**

- **Personal settings** and **Workspace settings**

- **My memos**, **All collections**, **Shared with me** and **Trash**

- **Connections**, for the AI tools connected to your account

- **Switch to** another workspace you belong to

## Browse instead

- **My memos** lists memos you created, with archived ones under **Archived** at the bottom.

- **Shared with me** lists memos other people have shared with you directly, including from workspaces you're a guest in.

- **All collections** lists every collection you can open in the workspace.

## Have your AI do it

Once your AI is connected (see [Connect Claude to Fieldwerk](https://help.fieldwerk.ai/pz1hhc2mwy/connect-claude-to-fieldwerk.md) or [Connect ChatGPT to Fieldwerk](https://help.fieldwerk.ai/exh83fg13f/connect-chatgpt-to-fieldwerk.md)), it searches the same memos you can read, and can go further by searching properties across a whole workspace:

```prompt
In Fieldwerk, ask me what topic I'm after, then find my memos about it and tell me where things stand.
```

```prompt
In Fieldwerk, find everything across my workspace that's assigned to me and tell me what's due this week. If my collections don't track an owner or a due date yet, say so and explain how to add them.
```

Or start each day with a check-in:

```prompt
In Fieldwerk, what's waiting on me, and what changed in my workspace since yesterday?
```
