Local search allows you to search within the currently displayed note. 

## Alternatives

*   Pressing Ctrl+F while in a browser while not focused in a <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/Text.md">Text</a> or a <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/Code.md">Code</a> note will trigger the browser's native search. This will also find text that is part of Trilium's UI.
*   Pressing Ctrl+F in a <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/Text.md">Text</a> note will reveal <a class="reference-link" href="../../Advanced%20Usage/Technologies%20used/CKEditor.md">CKEditor</a>'s search functionality.

## Accessing the search

*   On desktop, press<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd>
*   From the <a class="reference-link" href="../UI%20Elements/Note%20buttons.md">Note buttons</a>, look for the context menu and select _Search in note_.

## Interaction

*   Finding:
    *   Fill in the _Find in text…_ with the text to search for.
    *   The search will be executed automatically in the background.
    *   Use up and down arrows of the text box to navigate between results.
*   Replacing:
    *   Fill in the _Find in text_… field with the text to replace.
    *   Fill in the _Replace with…_ field the text to replace it with.
    *   Press _Replace_ to replace only the current result.
    *   Press _Replace all_ to replace all of them at once.
*   Options:
    *   _Case sensitive_ – the search will distinguish upper case characters from lower case (e.g. searching for Hello will not match `hello`).
    *   _Match words_ - the search will find only exact word matches (e.g. searching for `Java` will not match `JavaScript`).
