cdno search
Full-text search across all notes, ranked best-first, with optional filters by note type, date window, and portfolio.
cdno search [OPTIONS] <QUERY>
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
<QUERY> | Search text. Matched case-insensitively; terms are ANDed. Quotes and operators are treated as literal words. |
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--type <TYPE> | Restrict to one note type (e.g. daily, project, evidence, or a config-defined custom type). A name that is neither built-in nor a registered custom type errors with the valid set; tab-completion offers your vault’s types. |
--from <FROM> | Inclusive earliest note date (YYYY-MM-DD). |
--to <TO> | Inclusive latest note date (YYYY-MM-DD). |
--portfolio <PORTFOLIO> | Restrict to notes in this portfolio. |
--limit <LIMIT> | Maximum results. Default 20. |
Plus the global options. With --json, emits an array of hits, each
with path, note_type, title, snippet, and score.
Examples
cdno search "preconditioner"

cdno search "speedup" --portfolio sparse-vs-dense-attention-ood --json | jq -r '.[].path'
