Searching Orrery

One box for people, messages, events, photos, screens and settings.

The search button at the top — or Ctrl+K / ⌘K — searches everything you can already see: people, messages, events, memories, photos, posts, your private notes and reminders, communities, places, and every screen and setting in Orrery. It reads ordinary language. "Photos with Ewan", "events next month", "messages from Sam in March" and "where do I change my password" all work, and small typos are corrected against what you actually have. Search shows you how it read your question as removable chips, so you can drop a filter you did not mean. Some things it can do besides finding: - Answer a question from your own records — the last time you saw someone, when a birthday is — always naming what it read the answer from. - Take you to any screen or setting. - Do something small, like setting a reminder. Anything that changes something shows you a sentence and asks you to confirm first. Search only ever looks at things you have permission to see, checked again on every result. Your recent searches are kept on your own device and you can clear them.

Still stuck?

If none of these answer your question, there are two ways to reach a person.

  • If you can sign in: open Orrery, then choose Help & Support and press Contact support. Your request goes to the Support Center, where you can read the reply and follow it up.
  • If you cannot sign in: email [email protected]. A person reads it. Please describe what happens and what you were trying to do — and never include your password: nobody at Orrery will ever ask you for it.
