What is searched

Section titled “What is searched”

Titles, note bodies and credential fields. The contents of stored files are not: a match inside a binary would say nothing useful, and searching them would mean decompressing and scanning every attachment on every query.

Finding nothing is a normal result, not an error:

Terminal window
$ sefy find zzz
no items

This is where find differs from a <REFERENCE>: commands that act on one item refuse to guess between several matches, while find exists precisely to show you all of them.
