The Search Window
Search across workspace records, guides, commands, and linkable items from one keyboard-friendly window.
The Search Window is Bluprint's command palette. It helps you jump to records, find guides, run quick search commands, and link one record to another without manually navigating through the sidebar.
Open it from the topbar search button or press ⌘+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux.
What You Can Search
Use the target chip to choose what Bluprint should search.
Supported targets include:
- Ideas.
- Scripts.
- Channels.
- Bluprints.
- Calendar Events.
- Thumbnail Projects.
- Guides.
Idea results open the Idea window directly. Other results navigate to the relevant page, Script, Calendar Event, Channel, Bluprint, or Thumbnail Project.
Search by a Specific Field
Open the options button, then choose Filter by to pick the field used for matching.
For example:
- Ideas can search by Title or Description.
- Scripts can search by Title or full script text.
- Calendar Events can search by Title, Description, or Location text.
- Channels, Bluprints, and Thumbnail Projects search by their names or titles.
Command Mode
Type > or press ⌘+K while the Search Window is open to enter command mode.
Commands help you switch search targets, search guides, or clear recent searches without reaching for the mouse.
Guide Mode
Type ? to search the help guides. This is useful when you know what you want to learn but do not know where the guide lives.
Selecting a guide opens it in the in-app help drawer. Use ⌘+↵ or Ctrl+↵ to open a result in a new tab when that action is available.
Link Mode
Link mode appears only when another workflow needs you to choose an item to connect. For example, when linking a Script to an Idea, the Search Window opens in a scoped mode where selecting a result links it instead of navigating away.
In link mode:
- The footer says link mode.
- The search target is usually preselected.
- Results exclude items that are already linked when the workflow provides that context.
- Enter links the selected result.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Use the footer hints while the window is open:
- ↑ and ↓ move through results.
- Enter opens or links the selected result.
- ⌘+↵ or Ctrl+↵ opens a supported result in a new tab.
- ⌘+K or Ctrl+K switches into command mode.
- Esc closes the window.
