Search: $ARGUMENTS (query terms and filters)

Using Notion MCP for knowledge retrieval

Search Operations

1. Basic Search

// Search across all pages
const results = await notion.search({
  query: 'authentication',
  sort: {
    direction: 'descending',
    timestamp: 'last_edited_time'
  }
});

console.log(`Found ${results.results.length} pages`);
results.results.forEach(page => {
  console.log(`- ${page.properties.Name.title[0].text.content}`);
});

2. Filtered Search

// Search within specific database
const results = await notion.search({
  query: 'API',
  filter: {
    property: 'object',
    value: 'page'
  },
  sort: {
    direction: 'ascending',
    timestamp: 'last_edited_time'
  }
});

3. Database Queries

// Query with filters
const apiDocs = await notion.databases.query({
  database_id: 'api-docs-db',
  filter: {
    and: [
      {
        property: 'Status',
        select: {
          equals: 'Published'
        }
      },
      {
        property: 'Tags',
        multi_select: {
          contains: 'Backend'
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  sorts: [
    {
      property: 'Last Updated',
      direction: 'descending'
    }
  ]
});

4. Full-Text Search

async function fullTextSearch(searchTerm) {
  // Search in titles
  const titleResults = await notion.search({
    query: searchTerm,
    filter: { property: 'object', value: 'page' }
  });

  // Search in page content
  const contentResults = [];

  for (const page of titleResults.results) {
    const blocks = await notion.blocks.children.list({
      block_id: page.id
    });

    for (const block of blocks.results) {
      if (block.type === 'paragraph') {
        const text = block.paragraph.rich_text.map(t => t.text.content).join('');
        if (text.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase())) {
          contentResults.push({
            page: page.properties.Name.title[0]?.text.content,
            pageId: page.id,
            content: text,
            url: page.url
          });
        }
      }
    }
  }

  return contentResults;
}
