Find what I wrote about a topic
Search across all your notes in natural language and pull up the relevant passages.
The prompt
Find what I wrote about [TOPIC].
The hardest part of a notes system is finding things later. alfred_ searches across all your notes by meaning, not just exact words.
What alfred_ does
- Searches your connected notes by semantic match plus keyword
- Returns the most relevant 1-3 notes with a one-line excerpt of the match
- Offers to open, summarize, or extract action items from any result
Tips
- Use the actual phrasing you remember: alfred_ matches on meaning, so “the time we decided X” works
- Constrain time if you remember roughly when: “in the last month” speeds the search and narrows results
- Pair with action: “Find my notes on the pricing change. Now draft a recap email I can send.”
