Search and Replace

Default shortcut is Ctrl + H

Searches the current page for the specified phrase and replaces it with a new phrase. Use standard Regular Expression syntax for advanced searches; substitution parameters can be used to inject regular expression captures.

⚠	Warning A reqgular expression with non-greedy syntax could corrupt, delete parts, or erase all content on a page. Be sure to test your regular expression on a single page before targeting a section or notebook.

This searches line-by-line so it will not find text that spans paragraphs or table cells. If the text cursor is currently within a word, that word is shown as the default text to replace in the Find what field.

If the Replace with text contains the sequence \n then that is replaced with a Newline character. For example, replacing text with "one\ntwo" will result in two lines as follows:

one
two

Due to the way regular expressions are interpreted, if you want to replace 12:33:47 with 12:33 then use a regular expression like ((\d{2}:\d{2}):\d{2}) and replace with $2. If you exclude the outer parenthesis and replace with $1, the result will be no change.

Search and Copy/Move

Default shortcut is Alt + F

Searches for keywords across pages and copies or moves selected pages (Alt + F) to another section
