Search your sessions, topics and highlights
Hedy’s search finds a past session, topic or highlight by a word or name you remember. It looks through session titles, recaps and detailed notes, so you can find a meeting even if you only remember something that was decided in it.
Open search
- On a computer or tablet: click Search in the sidebar.
- On a phone: tap the magnifier in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
Then type in the field that says Search sessions, topics, highlights…. Results appear as you type.
What search looks through
| Results group | What Hedy checks |
|---|---|
| Sessions | The session title, the recap and the Detailed Notes |
| Topics | The topic name and its description |
| Highlights | The highlight title, the quote and its main idea |
Each group shows up to five results. Session results that match in the title come first, then the newest sessions. When a session matched in its recap or detailed notes, Hedy shows a short excerpt around the match.
Click or tap a result to open it. Hedy switches to the Sessions, Topics or Highlights tab and opens what you picked. Press Esc on a computer to close search.
What search does not cover
- Transcripts. Search does not look inside the transcript. If you remember only a spoken phrase, search for words that are likely to appear in the recap or detailed notes instead.
- Your own session notes, the notes you write yourself in a session.
To find a word inside one transcript, open the session and edit the transcript. On sessions without speaker labels, the editor has a Search and Replace button (the magnifier) that finds the word in that transcript. See editing transcripts and regenerating content.
Offline and on the web
- iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows: search runs on the sessions stored on your device, so it also works without an internet connection.
- Web app: search covers the sessions already loaded in your session list. To include older sessions, scroll down your session list first so they load.
Upper and lower case
Search ignores upper and lower case. One exception in the iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows apps: inside recaps and detailed notes, upper and lower case only match each other for letters without accents (A to Z). If a word with accents or in another alphabet does not turn up, type it with the same capitalization it has in the text.
Narrow down your session list instead
Search shows a few top results. To go through many sessions, for example all sessions of one session type or from one week, use the Filters button at the top of your session list. See managing your Hedy sessions.
