Known Problems in the current nightly version
There are a few known issues in nightly due to infrastructure changes. If you want a seamless experience, please use the production app until resolved. It’s save to do that at the moment.
- Weblink images are not displayed. This is only a display issue, they exist and are added but do get displayed.
- Web embeds are not working
- Tweet embeds from X/Twitter are not working
v1.57.44 (2025-12-24)
✨ Improvements
- Task Inbox now only shows tasks with no date and no status: Tasks leave the inbox as soon as you apply a date or status. This allows for workflows like assigning tasks a status like “Some day” or “Deferred” to better work with the “Getting Things Done” methodology.
v1.57.41 (2025-12-24)
✨ Improvements
- Queries can now be filtered by context: You can select “Backlink objects” in the filter dropdown menus to filter for all objects that have a backlink (or context in case of tasks) to a set of other objects
🐛 Fixes
- Fixed an issue where tasks in the Context view wouldn’t show their context group if all tasks shared the same context. Now the context name will always appear for better clarity. Ticket
- Corrected the due dates shown for scheduled tasks when sorted by date, resolving timezone related errors. Ticket
- Fixed Raycast search fails. Ticket
- Fixed Deleting Created Date doesn’t really delete the data, remove this warning. Ticket
v1.57.37 (2025-12-22)
Block-linking search
You can now type “((” to open a menu to search for any block in Capacities. If you select a block it will get linked. This way you don’t have to copy a block reference anymore. You can simply search for your block.
v1.57.26 (2025-12-18)
Search 2.0 in Capacities
We’re super excited to share a new version of search in Capacities. Based on user feedback, we completely reworked the current search engine. Here’s what’s better:
- Works offline: The new search now runs on your device, so no internet connection needed to quickly look something up.
- Much faster: Search results appear within a few milliseconds.
- Better matching: We reworked how content is matched and ranked. It now does not match fuzzy results anymore but only returns exact matches. Results are less verbose and more accurate.
- Better matching for numbers and symbols: Searching for a price, complex numbers or symbols now works much better than before.
- Support for non-logographic languages: The new search engine can handle languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and much more. It is not perfect yet but much better than before. Feedback welcome!
- Support for exact match search: By using " (e.g. “David Rockefeller”) the search engine will only search for matches of the whole term not the words within it.
On top of that, we added:
- In-page search for tags: You can now similar to collections or object types, search within tag pages.
- Anchor search: If you start your search with “^” the search will only return objects, properties, or blocks that start with your search term.
- Better search queries with tags: Tags are now first-class citizens in search queries. You now only see block results that are tagged and match your search criteria.
The new search engine will allow us to do much more. Over the next weeks and months, you can expect more search improvements. So stay tuned!
Breaking changes with the new search engine:
Search queries now do exact matching based on your search term. You can search for a union of search terms by simply adding multiple search terms.
Command palette does not support filtering for tags anymore.
Search terms for property name in combination with property value do not work anymore. You can now only search for property values. This change was made due to verbose results if you search for a property name.
Nightly Testing Instructions
At the moment, the new search engine is active for the command palette, search queries, and searches in object types, collections, and tag pages. We’d love to hear your feedback so we can fine-tune the algorithm and the features. Questions:
- What was better in the old search? What is better in the new one?
- Is there unexpected behavior? Too much weight on something?
- How is the performance? The search is getting indexed on startup, so if you notice performance problems in the first 2 minutes while using the app, please let us know.
✨ Improvements
- Smarter indexing on startup. Content will only get indexed if necessary.
- You can now manually reindex your content in the “Offline & Sync” settings.
- More items visible in linking dropdowns when no search term is entered
- All linking menus now have loading states so you know if all results are returned
- Completely revamped the search experience to provide more relevant, consistent, and readable results across all types of queries. Ticket
- Enhanced search to allow linking directly to specific blocks with an inline search and insert feature, reducing the need for manual copy-pasting of block references. Ticket
- Improved search capabilities to better support exact phrase searches and reduce overly fuzzy matches, making it easier to find specific content. Ticket
- Added support for more accurate full-text search in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other logographic languages to improve content findability. Ticket
- Made searching for numerical tags more reliable by improving the matching of partial numbers within tags. Ticket
- Updated the search interface to clarify behaviors and improve ease of use, including how filters and tags are handled. Ticket
- Improved tag search consistency so that searching for blocks and objects tagged with the same label behaves in the same way. Ticket
🐛 Fixes
- Fixed search results to no longer show trashed items, keeping search results clean and relevant. Ticket
