Search
Find any Droplet with the ⌘K palette. Free-text fuzzy match plus operators for owner, Space, tag, type, and date.
Hit ⌘K from anywhere in Drop and the header palette opens. Type a query — Drop matches against Droplet names, descriptions, and the extracted text content of every published version. The palette is the single front door for finding anything: Droplets, Spaces, tags, even People.
Results are typo-tolerant — complience finds compliance — and ranked by relevance. Exact name matches rank first, then partial matches, then body-content matches by similarity score.

Type any keywords. The palette streams results as you type.

Operators

- Prefix a query with
>to scope to Spaces instead of Droplets. - Prefix with
#to scope to tags. - Prefix with
@to scope to people. - Inside an operator value (e.g. typing
from:dyl):Tabadds the top suggestion as a chip — the autocomplete shortcut.Entersubmits the search with whatever you've composed (chips + the partial). Arrow down to pick a non-top row, thenEntercommits that row.
