# Search and the command palette

> Press Cmd-K or forward slash to open the command palette. It searches across cluster names, card contents, notes, documents and tags, and it also runs commands — create a cluster, share this one, open messages, toggle the theme, open trash, sign out. It is the fastest route to almost anything in the app.

`⌘K`, or `/` when you are not typing into something.

## What it searches

Full content, not just names:

- **Recents** — what you have had open
- **Clusters** — by name
- **Cards and notes** — by content
- **Tags**
- **Docs** — by content

Results are grouped by kind, so a query matching a board and a passage inside a
document shows you both, labelled.

## What it does

The palette also runs commands. Type the verb rather than the noun:

| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| Create cluster | A new board |
| New note | A note on the current board |
| Go to Home | The [relationship graph](/docs/clusters/home-graph) |
| Link a cluster onto canvas | Place a reference to another board |
| Open split view | Two boards side by side |
| Share this cluster | The [share dialog](/docs/collaborate/sharing) |
| Messages | The [messages drawer](/docs/collaborate/messages) |
| Toggle theme | Light / dark |
| Toggle sidebar | |
| Open trash | [Deleted clusters](/docs/clusters/trash-and-recovery) |
| Open settings | |
| Account and billing | [Plans](/docs/account/plans) |
| Invite friends | [Referrals](/docs/account/referrals) |
| Sign out | |

## Pickers

The same interface is reused wherever the app needs you to choose something — a
board to link, a destination to move to, a document to embed. If you know how to
use `⌘K`, you already know how to use those.

## When to use something else

- Browsing one cluster's contents by type, size or date — [list view](/docs/clusters/list-view)
- Everything on a theme, across the workspace — [tags](/docs/organize/tags)
- Seeing how things relate rather than finding one — [Home graph](/docs/clusters/home-graph)
- Inside one long document — `⌘F` [find and replace](/docs/documents)
