Search is the way we find information

We use google in a daily basis to find websites, places, products, flights and more using a query

Mac Spotlight let us find “anything” in our desktop. It can find documents, applications and more.

Some apps has a spotlight search approach, in notion you can find pages and more.

Webstorm let you search for filenames, variables, functions, classes, components and more.

What if you could have an universal search for everything in the world, and for our personal information?

Google is good to find information about the world but it isn’t good enough to find information based on our context.

To make search fast we need to index the data, Zettelkästen is the system to make sure our knowledge is easy to find later on.
