AI Search

LinkBrain uses semantic AI search to find links by meaning, not just exact keywords.

How It Works

When you save a link, LinkBrain extracts the page content and generates an AI embedding — a numerical representation of what the page is about. When you search, your query is also converted to an embedding, and we find the closest matches.

This means you can search with:

  • Natural language — "that article about CSS grid layouts"
  • Concepts — "machine learning for beginners"
  • Partial memories — "the startup funding guide I read last week"

Open search with any of these methods:

  • Click Search in the sidebar
  • Press ⌘K to open the command palette
  • Press S from any dashboard page

Results are ranked by relevance. Each result shows a similarity score and whether it matched via keyword or semantic search.

Search Tips

Be specific: "React useEffect cleanup patterns" works better than "React"

Use natural language: Write as if describing the page to a friend

Filter by tag: Combine search with tag filters for precision

Don't use boolean operators: AND/OR/NOT aren't needed — AI understands intent

Command Palette

Press ⌘K for the command palette — a quick-access search that also lets you navigate pages, run actions, and manage links without touching the mouse.
