# Global search and list search

> How ⌘K Search Center and ⌘F list search divide the work

## Know the two entry points first

| Entry               | Default shortcut | Purpose                                      |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Search Center**   | **⌘K**           | Standalone panel: All / Local / GitHub / Web |
| **List search box** | **⌘F**           | Filter the **current** Manage / Explore list |

Both shortcuts can be changed in [Keyboard shortcuts](/settings/shortcuts). Older docs that say “⌘F opens global search” are outdated.

Dedicated Search Center page: [Search Center](/search/search-center).

## List keyword search

Type keywords in the middle-column search box. Uses local FTS5 and typically covers:

* Repository name, owner, description
* topics
* Private note body

Overview:

* Multi-word matching
* Relevance ranking (BM25-style)
* Can stack with [toolbar filters](/search/filters)

## List semantic search (Pro)

Switch to **Semantic** mode to describe the repo you want in natural language.

Prerequisites:

1. [Pro](/subscribe/plan-comparison)
2. Configure Embedding in [Settings → AI](/settings/ai)
3. Build or refresh the AI index as prompted

Scope options include starred / knowledge / all (exact options follow the app). See [Semantic search](/search/semantic-search).

## When to use which

| Scenario                                          | Use                             |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Quickly narrow a list like Untagged               | ⌘F list search + filters        |
| Search local + GitHub + web at once               | ⌘K Search Center                |
| Semantic questions like “repos that do local RAG” | List semantic mode or RAG later |
