Orbit's search lets you find anything that has ever been on your screen. At its simplest, just type a word or phrase. But if you want more control, there are a handful of powerful techniques available.


Basic search

Simply type one or more words. When you provide multiple words without any operators between them, Orbit looks for screen captures that contain all of the words (implicit AND).

quarterly review

→ Finds screen captures containing both "quarterly" and "review".


Exact phrase search

Wrap your query in double quotes to search for an exact sequence of words. Just like Google.

"design review"

→ Only matches screen captures where those two words appear side by side in that exact order.


Boolean operators

You can combine terms using AND, OR, and NOT. Operators are not case-sensitive: and, OR, And all work the same way.

Operator What it does Example
AND Both terms must be present apple AND orange
OR Either term (or both) must be present invoice OR receipt
NOT First term present, second must be absent database NOT postgres

Examples

Figma OR Sketch
meeting AND agenda NOT cancelled

Wildcard / prefix search

Add a * to the end of a word to match anything that starts with those letters.
