Search and Tags

Searching the Book

The search panel opens from the activity bar (magnifier icon). Search runs full-text across the current book.

Search Parameters

Parameter Description
Query Search text
Case-sensitive When enabled, "Word" and "word" return different results
Regular expression Search by regex pattern
Tag filter Limit results to scenes with the specified tags

Results show matches with context — click a result to jump to the scene.

Regular Expressions

When Regular expression mode is enabled, standard regex syntax is available (for example, \bhero\b, [Aa]lex(ander)?).

Tags

Tags are colored labels for organizing and filtering scenes. Each tag has a name and a color; the tag set is shared across the entire project.

Managing Tags

The Manage Tags dialog is the central place to create, rename, and delete tags.

Create a tag: enter a name in the field at the top, pick a color from the palette, and click the "+" button. The new tag appears in the list immediately.

Edit: hover over a tag and click the pencil icon. Change the name or color and confirm with Enter or the Save button.

Delete: click the trash icon. The tag is removed from every scene in the project — this action cannot be undone.

How to open: in the scene Properties panel, click Add tag…, then at the bottom of the dropdown choose Manage Tags.

Assigning Tags to a Scene

Open the Properties panel of the selected scene. In the Scene tags field, click Add tag… — a dropdown appears with every tag in the project. Pick one or more: already-assigned tags are checked. Assigned tags appear in the field as colored chips; click "×" on a chip to remove the tag.

You can navigate the list with ↑/↓, Enter to select, and Escape to close.

In the search panel, enable Tag filter and pick one or more tags from the same dropdown. Search will return only scenes carrying the selected tags.
