Search & Recall
Press Ctrl S to open Story Recall and find any line or name across every book in seconds.
Updated
When you half-remember a line, a character, or a place and just need to get to it, Story Recall is the answer. Press Ctrl S and a single search box opens over your whole project. It reads your manuscript prose and your entire Story World at once, ranks the best matches, and takes you straight there.
✦Quick start
- 1Press Ctrl S (or click Search in the title bar) to open Story Recall.
- 2Type a line, a name, or a place — results appear as you type.
- 3Narrow with the filter chips (Manuscript, Characters, Places, and more) if you like.
- 4Press Enter or click a result to jump to it — a prose match scrolls to the exact paragraph and flashes it; a character or place opens its sheet.
What It Searches
- Manuscript prose — every paragraph, tagged with its book, chapter, and position
- Your Story World — characters, locations, factions, and items
- Scenes from Scene Designer, universe notes and idea cards, and your saved snippets
- The single best match gets its own "Top result" slot; everything else is grouped by kind with a count
Narrowing & Opening
- Inside a book, a scope button cycles This book → This universe → Everywhere
- Filter chips let you show only one kind of result at a time
- Matches are ranked by relevance, with the matched words highlighted in each result
- Clicking a prose result opens the book at that paragraph; clicking a character, place, faction, or item opens its profile sheet

Story Recall builds a private index of your project on your own machine the first time you sign in. If you open it moments after launching, you may briefly see "Indexing your project…" — it settles in a second, and searches everything from then on.
