Guide
Fibery has a full-text search and Semantic Search (AI Search) (semantic search).
Find Search in the left sidebar (or use Cmd + K shortcut ) to access full-text search. Just type some keywords and most likely Fibery will present some decent results. Fibery will look in Rich Text fields, Documents, Comments and mentions, the Name Field of Entities, basic text/email/url/phone Fields.
Some limitations:
Search doesn't work for inline text comments.
Phone search has some limitations, for example, if you type 12345678, then all numbers which contain spaces 123 45 768, brackets 1(23)45678 or hyphens 123-45-678 will be missed in search.
What you can find in Search?
There are several things that you can find:
Entities (Tasks, Projects, Events, Bugs, Features, etc.)
Documents
Comments
Views (Table, Board, Report, etc.)
Settings pages: Trash, Activity Log, etc. To keep search results clean, we only suggest system pages using a shortlist of keywords: e.g. trash, restore, and undelete for Trash.

Search Filters
Filter Search Results by Final State
You can filter out Done, Closed, Final items from search. Just use Done switcher.
Filter results by Database
Click Any Database to limit search results to a specific database. For example, you know that you want to find a Feature, then filter by the Feature database.
See also: exclude Database from search.
Filter results by creation date
Use When filter to narrow down the search results to recently created items or items created in a specific timeframe:
Filter results by View Type
You can filter search results by View type. For example, if you want to find some Table View, you can do it via the filter in Search faster.
Filter Views by Space
You can filter Views in search results by Space. It will help you to find documents, whiteboards, and other views faster.
Explore search results
You may quickly explore search results by opening items in the right panel.
Put the mouse cursor on a search result (or navigate the list using ↑ ↓ keys)
Click Open a new panel on the right icon (or use Option + Enter shortcut)
Access recent items
By default, the search screen shows recently visited entities and views. This is a very handy way to quickly access a recent entity or view.
Exclude Databases from search
If you don't want Entities of some Database to ever show up in search results (e.g. Month or Commit), exclude them for everyone.
Navigate to Space settings of the relevant Database and pick Exclude … from search in the context menu:
To bring the Entities back, pick the Include … in search option in the same context menu. Both operations require Architect access to the Space.
You can still search within the excluded Database by explicitly selecting it in the What filter:
Search exact match using quotes
You can use quotes "smth you are looking for" around the search phrase and exact matches will be returned.
Quickly add entities from search
If you didn't find the entity and you want to add a new entity, you can Quickly add Entities in search. Just select the database and you will see Create entity option.
Search + Panels
You may open a search in your current panel, or open new panels on the left or right to find an entity or view and open it in the new panel. Find the search icon on the top right corner of the panel and hover your mouse cursor on top:
Open a new panel on the left/right
Cmd + Shift + < and Cmd + Shift + >
When writing a feature spec, you realize you can borrow some ideas from another, not yet related feature. So you open them side-by-side and figure out which parts to reuse
Close all panels and open the search
Cmd + Shift + K
You’ve just finished describing a huge project, your screen is full of panels, and you are ready to move on to the next task. So you close all the panels to open search and start a new “thinking session”
Open search in the current panel
Cmd + K
You are writing a long (and totally not boring) document on the right inspired by several sources on the left. You don’t ever come back to a source, so you reuse the same panel
OpenSearch integration to Fibery search
You can open Fibery search directly from your browser search bar. This feature works best in Firefox and requires a few more manual steps to set up in Chrome.
Just open any Fibery page, and if your browser supports that feature, it will suggest adding Fibery as a search engine.
To setup in Chrome:
Open any Fibery page.
Go to Chrome settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search.
Scroll to the end of the page, and click Activate near the row with the relevant Fibery workspace.
Click Edit on the new entry and change a shortcut to something you can easily remember, like @fibery
Done! Now, when you type @fibery some cool bug in the search bar, Chrome will suggest opening Fibery search right away.
FAQ
Do you have a search by the partial match?
Search has some fuzziness, sometimes it works good, sometimes not so good. If you feel it is not good enough, leave your feedback in our community.
Can I search through text fields (not rich text) & email fields?
Yes, all basic text fields are indexed, like Basic Text, URL, Email, and Phone.
Why are some cards grey in search?
That means that these Entities are in the final state. For example, they are Done, Archived, Closed, etc.
How does the database selector determine the order of items? Can I customize which databases appear first?
The database selector is organized alphabetically, following this structure:
Space name → Database name
This means:
There’s no custom sorting option yet, but you can manually adjust the order by renaming:
