# Search

> Full-text search that complements metadata queries

Full-text search (`GET /search`, or `/search` in the app) is **Postgres FTS** over title, path, content, and frontmatter, ACL-filtered per hit.

[Metadata queries](/concepts/page-metadata) complement it:

* **FTS** answers *"which pages talk about X"*.
* **Metadata** answers *"which pages **are** in state X"*.

Use them together: FTS to find candidates, metadata to filter and rank.
