Full-Text Search

Find Anything, Instantly

Press / or tap the search icon and start typing. Lion Reader searches every article in your archive — matching both the title and the full text — so you can track something down whether you remember the headline or just a phrase from the middle of the piece. The closest matches come back first, so what you’re looking for is usually right at the top.

Search understands word variations, so you don’t have to guess the exact wording: a search for “cook” also turns up “cooking” and “cooked.” Results keep loading as you scroll, no matter how large your archive gets.

Searches Where You Already Are

Search doesn’t throw away the view you’re in — it narrows it. Searching from inside a single subscription, a tag, your saved articles, or your starred items keeps that scope, so you can look within a specific newsletter instead of across everything. And because search normally covers read articles too, it’s just as good for digging up something from months ago as for finding today’s unread items.

Wherever you read Lion Reader, you can search: the web app on your phone or desktop, and through connected tools like AI assistants via the MCP server.
