Search & Command Palette
An archive is only useful if you can find things in it. In Ewig, everything (search, navigation, actions) lives behind one keystroke.
The command palette (⌘K)
Press ⌘K anywhere (a floating panel on Mac, a sheet on iPhone). One surface, four jobs:
- Search bookmarks: ranked results as you type, across title, domain, URL and notes.
- Go to a collection: type its name, hit ↵.
- Switch views: Cards, List, Headlines.
- Run actions: New Bookmark, Import, Export, the link finders, and more.
Everything is keyboard-navigable: arrows to move, ↵ to commit, esc to dismiss.
Search scopes
Narrow a search to one field with the scope selector: All, Title, Domain, or Note. The “Search in…” actions search within a single collection, too.
Search operators
Power-filter your library with inline operators:
| Operator | Matches |
|---|---|
site:github.com | Bookmarks from a domain, subdomain-aware. |
before:2026-01-01 | Saved before a date. Combine with after: for ranges. |
is:archived | By status; also is:pending, is:failed. |
has:note | Only bookmarks you’ve annotated. |
Library-cleaning finders
Two palette actions keep a growing archive healthy:
- Duplicate Link Finder: finds URLs saved more than once so you can remove the extras in one pass.
- Dead Link Finder: checks every bookmark’s original URL and surfaces the ones that no longer load. Your snapshots still open, of course; this is how you learn which ones just became irreplaceable.
