Navigation is not always retrieval
Folder browsing helps when you are exploring. It is slower when you already remember a title, phrase, tag, or visual clue.
Fast search protects focus
A small search surface lets you retrieve the item and continue working instead of navigating away into a larger information hierarchy.
Mixed note types should still feel searchable
Text, links, images, drawings, and boards become more useful when one search interaction can jump across all of them.
A shared search model prevents surprises
Search becomes easier to learn when the same title, tag, body, OCR, and fuzzy matching rules apply wherever you look for notes.
Zettory shares fast-search behavior across the app
Notes search, Spotlight-style search, and the Kanban note picker use the same local ranking path. Kanban only adds one eligibility rule: notes already placed on the current board can be excluded.
