Currently, there is no way to “global search” within a pane. The pane is pointed to a single location (a top level “document”, or you can use this to drill down into nodes as far as you like and limit the search to just a specific node.). I consider this a huge FEATURE of legend - and love this ability to have everything together, and use zoom to limit my views.
For this reason, I (and I think other experienced users) suggest using the MINIMUM number of documents that make sense for your context; and only using documents for things you really want totally separate.
So, for example - for my use, it makes sense to have a “Home” document and a “Work” document. Those are completely different and separate areas for me - different tags, different organization, different uses, and they do not overlap. I don’t want to see “work” stuff when I’m thinking about home, and I don’t want to see home stuff at work.
It does NOT make sense for me to have separate documents for each project (for example) as that is just breaking things up to much. Instead, I have nodes within my “Home” outline for - Active projects, Someday/Maybe Projects and I use the zoom feature of panes to limit my views and searches to the relevant area. But I can point a pane to the top level “Home” document to search everything.
Hopefully that helps! It can be a different paradigm if you’re used to a system where every “project” (or every life area, etc) would be it’s own document… for most people, I suggest that paradigm just isn’t the best way to use Legend.
