Feature Deep Dive

Search by Meaning

"That thing about the energy stuff from last month"— and actually find it. Semantic search that understands what you mean.

The Half-Remembered Problem

You know you captured something important. You remember what it was about, but not the exact words you used. Traditional search fails here. Thoughtmarks doesn't.

Search Examples

🔍

You search:

"that marketing idea about psychology"

Finds your note that said:

"Use loss aversion in the pricing page—people hate losing more than they like gaining"

🔍

You search:

"book recommendation from podcast"

Finds your note that said:

"Tim Ferriss guest mentioned 'Thinking Fast and Slow'—add to reading list"

🔍

You search:

"startup idea about food"

Finds your note that said:

"What if there was an app for leftover meal planning? Reduce waste, save money"

Keyword Search

  • Requires exact word matches
  • Fails on synonyms ("car" vs "vehicle")
  • Can't understand concepts
  • Returns too many or zero results
  • You have to remember your own words

Semantic Search

  • Understands meaning, not just words
  • Handles synonyms automatically
  • Finds conceptually related ideas
  • Ranks by relevance, not recency
  • Search the way you think

How It Works

1

Embedding Your Ideas

Every thoughtmark is converted into a semantic embedding—a mathematical representation of its meaning, not just its words.

2

Understanding Your Query

When you search, your query gets the same treatment—converted to meaning, not matched word-by-word.

3

Finding Connections

AI finds thoughtmarks that are semantically similar to your query, even if they share no common words.
