# Find anything instantly with search

> One keyboard shortcut searches across every chat, project, coding session and scheduled routine at once — by title or by what’s inside. Never lose a conversation again.

## Open it with one shortcut

Press ⌘K (Ctrl + K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Start typing and results appear instantly — no need to remember which mode something was in.

## Everywhere, or just one place

The palette opens scoped to the section you’re in, with an “Everywhere” option that searches Home, Code, earlier Chat conversations and your routines together. Switch scope with the chips at the top.

Matches come in two tiers: titles and names appear immediately, and a moment later results from inside your messages and project files show up too — each with a highlighted snippet so you can see why it matched.

## More than search

The palette doubles as a launcher: jump straight to a section, start a new conversation in Home or a Code session, or open a scheduled routine — all without leaving the keyboard. Archived conversations stay findable too, collected quietly at the bottom.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I open search?

Press ⌘K (Ctrl + K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command palette, then start typing.

### Does it search inside my messages, not just titles?

Yes. Titles and names appear instantly, then matches from inside your messages and project files follow a moment later, each with a highlighted snippet showing why it matched.

### Can it find archived conversations?

Yes — archived items stay findable, collected quietly at the bottom of the results. The palette also doubles as a launcher to start a new conversation in Home or jump between sections.

### Does search work across every mode at once?

Yes. The “Everywhere” scope searches Home, Code, earlier Chat conversations and routines together, so you do not need to remember where something began—or you can narrow it to the current section.

### Is search instant on a large history?

Titles and names appear immediately as you type; matches from inside your messages and project files follow a moment later, each with a highlighted snippet showing why it matched.

- [Projects: turn any folder into an AI workspace](https://more-ai.net/guides/cowork-projects.md): A project binds the desktop assistant to a folder on your disk, edits with visible diffs and creates Word, Excel and PowerPoint deliverables. Signed-out work does not sync; after sign-in, project sync is on by default unless you disable it.
- [Code mode: run a coding agent on your own repository](https://more-ai.net/guides/code-agent.md): Describe a task, optionally require a plan, and watch the agent write code, run commands and show each diff — on your repo, with your key and a selectable permission mode.
- [Home or Code: which More AI workspace should you use?](https://more-ai.net/guides/chat-cowork-code.md): New More AI conversations start in Home, for questions, research and files; Code remains a separate workspace for repositories. Here is the current model, including what happens to legacy Chat conversations.
