Full-text search is not built into SilverBullet’s core distribution. It is available as a library you can install.
Search libraries
Two community search libraries are available:
- Silversearch (recommended) — a more capable search implementation
- basic-search — a simpler search that was previously built into SilverBullet
Install either one via the Configuration Manager.
Tips
- For structured queries over metadata and objects, use Space Lua/Integrated Query instead — it’s much more powerful for querying attributes, tags, and relationships
- The Page Picker (
Cmd-k/Ctrl-k) also searches page names and can be faster for finding pages you know the name of
