Search

The search button — a magnifying glass circle in the floating tab bar — gives you fast access to any location in your library. Tap it to open a search overlay that slides up from the bottom of the screen, keyboard-first and ready to type.

Closing the overlay (tap the X or dismiss the keyboard) instantly restores the full list.

What You Can Search

Search matches against everything GeoLog knows about a location. You don’t need to remember exactly what you named something — any of these will find it:

Location Name (Title)

The name you gave the location when you saved it.

Example: lighthouse, Hidden Falls, studio

Address

The street address, city, state, or region associated with the location. GeoLog stores the full reverse-geocoded address, so you can search any part of it.

Example: Main St, Portland, Oregon, France

Notes

Any notes you wrote when saving or editing the location.

Example: blue hour, no parking, best in winter

Date

You can search by when you saved the location. GeoLog understands dates written several ways — you don’t need an exact format.

What you type	What it matches
2024	All locations saved in 2024
March or Mar	All locations saved in any March
March 2024 or Mar 2024	Locations saved in March 2024
2024-03-15	Locations saved on that specific date

When GeoLog detects that your query looks like a date, a small calendar hint appears below the search bar to confirm date-based filtering is active.

How It Works

Search filters your Home list in real time as you type. The list updates with every character — no need to press Search or confirm anything. The list returns to its full sorted order as soon as you close the overlay.

Search is case-insensitive, so portland, Portland, and PORTLAND all return the same results.

Tips for Finding a Specific Shot

• You scouted it last spring but can’t remember the name → search April 2024 or just April
• You know it was somewhere in Vermont → search Vermont
• You added a note about golden hour → search golden
• You named it after the road → search the road name or part of it
• You want everything from a recent trip → search the city or region name

Any one of these is enough — search checks all fields at once.
