Search

Find it in a word or two.

Ctrl K finds any entry by a word of its title, in French or in English, with the accents or without. Lists narrow to what’s waiting for you, and the media library finds a photo by what its alt text says.

The titles and ids of the demo journal’s 145 entries, matched the way the Studio matches them. The Studio also looks in each entry’s other short fields.

Everywhere

Where you can look

The same way of matching everywhere: a word in any language, accents and capitals ignored.

  • Ctrl K

    Ctrl K, on every screen

    Entries of every model, the project’s screens, other projects, and a few things to do: the look, the language, signing out.

    • Up to eight entries at a glance
    • Each one’s model and state beside it

  • Lists

    What’s waiting for you

    Every model’s list has views with counts: my drafts, needs review, edits not published, not in English yet.

    • Filters by status, by field, by who edited
    • Group by status or a field

  • Media

    A photo by its alt text

    The library searches file names, titles, captions and alt text in every language.

    • With folders and kinds
    • And the files nothing uses

  • Inbox

    A letter by a word in it

    The Inbox finds a form letter by what’s in its answers, accents or not.

    • Unread, all and spam
    • A CSV of all of it

For scripts

The same search from a terminal

The command line and the agents search the same way, with the filters the Studio’s lists use.

  • moteur entries list --q, --status, --missing, --facets
  • moteur media list --search
  • The same commands are the MCP server’s tools

terminal

# Articles that mention a robot
moteur entries list article --q robot

# Not translated into English yet
moteur entries list article --missing title:en

# A photo, by its file name or alt text
moteur media list --search dusk

Questions about search

An agency developer asksCan visitors search our site with it?

MoteurNot through Moteur’s API yet: a site’s key reads content, it doesn’t search it. Build a search index with your site from the published pages, with a tool like Pagefind.

A writer asksDoes it find a word in the body of an article?

MoteurNot yet. It looks in titles and other short fields, up to 500 characters each. Long text and blocks aren’t searched.

A writer asksWhat if I make a typo?

MoteurIt won’t guess: every word you type has to be there. Capitals and accents don’t matter.

A translator asksCan I search in one language only?

MoteurA word matches in any language. To find what’s missing in one, use the list’s “Not in English” view instead.
