How to search and filter
Find any reminder, note, account number, or document by name — as you type.
When your list grows, search is the fastest way back to a single item. Everyday Cue looks across more than just names.
Search the whole app
- Open the Search tab.
- Start typing.
Results appear as you type (with a brief pause so it isn't jumpy). Search spans:
- Reminder names
- Group names
- Notes
- Account numbers
- Document filenames
So you can find a bill by its account number, or a reminder by a word you tucked into its notes.
Tip: search matches whole words from a full-text index. If an exact phrase comes up empty, try a single distinctive word from it.
Filter on the dashboard
Search finds a known item; filters shape the whole list. On the dashboard you can:
- Tap a status count (Urgent, Due Soon, …) to narrow by status.
- Use the Calendar Card to scope by day, week, or month.
The two combine, so "Urgent, this week" is a couple of taps away.
Frequently asked questions
Can I search inside document content (not just the filename)? Not currently. Search covers document filenames but not the contents of PDF pages or images. Use the filename to find a document, then open it to read its content.
Why did a search for an exact phrase return no results? Everyday Cue's search uses a full-text index that matches whole words. Multi-word phrases sometimes fail if the index tokenized them differently. Try searching for one distinctive word from the phrase — e.g. "renewal" instead of "insurance renewal."
Can I filter by group on the dashboard? The dashboard shows reminders across all groups. To view a single group's reminders, open that group directly from the Groups tab. Status and calendar filters apply within the dashboard's full cross-group view.
Do filters and search work together? The Search tab and dashboard filters are separate tools. Search the whole app from the Search tab; filter by status and date from the dashboard. They can't be combined into a single results view.
