# Browse and search your logbook

> How your logbook is ordered, what the dive count shows, and what logbook search finds on your phone.

Your logbook lists every dive you've logged, highest dive number first, under a count of how many dives you have. Tap the search icon to filter the list as you type; search runs on your phone and looks at each dive's number, site, place, notes, dive shop or boat, and a few conditions and rig details.

## Open your logbook

Open the menu and tap **logbook**. The page is titled **logbook** too.

## What the page shows

* **The count.** The large figure at the top is the total number of dives in your logbook, with **dives logged** under it. It always shows the total, even while a search is narrowing the list.
* **my dives.** One row per dive. Each row shows the dive number in a badge, the dive site, the place and date beneath it, and the max depth and dive time when the dive has them. A dive with no site name shows its place instead, then its date, then its number.
* **add dive.** The row at the foot of the list starts a new dive. The **+** in the top bar does the same. See [Log a dive](/docs/logbook/log-a-dive).

Tap any row to open that dive. See [View, edit or delete a dive](/docs/logbook/edit-dive).

## How the list is ordered

Dives are sorted by dive number, highest first. Because new dives get the next number, this is usually newest first. A dive you've renumbered, or an older dive you log later, sits wherever its number puts it, not where its date would.

If your logbook is empty, the page shows **every dive you log lives here, highest dive number first** and an **add dive** button instead of the list.

## Search your logbook

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open search">
    Tap the search icon in the top bar. A search field opens at the top of **my dives**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Type what you remember">
    The list filters with every letter you type. A line under the field says how many dives match, or **no dives match your search**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Close search">
    Tap the **x** in the top bar where the search icon was. Closing search clears what you typed and shows the whole logbook again. The smaller **x** inside the field clears the text but keeps search open.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### What search looks at

Search matches these parts of each dive:

| Searched | Example query |
| - | - |
| Dive number | `147` |
| Dive site | `blue hole` |
| Place (the location field) | `cozumel` |
| Notes | `turtle` |
| Dive shop or boat | `aqua safari` |
| Wetsuit thickness or suit type | `5 mm`, `dry` |
| Weight belt, with its unit | `12 kg` |
| Water temperature, with its unit | `27 c` |
| **day** or **night** | `night` |
| **salt** or **fresh** | `fresh` |
| **boat** or **shore** | `shore` |

It does not search the date, max depth, dive time, rating, the gear ticked on a dive's **gear used** checklist, or the dive type.

The search field's hint reads **search site, place, shop, notes, suit, conditions**. It's a short guide rather than the full list: the dive number, weight and water temperature are searched too. The equipment checklist you tick for each dive isn't searched.

### How matching works

* **Every word must match.** `cozumel night` finds night dives in Cozumel, not every Cozumel dive plus every night dive.
* **Case doesn't matter, and part of a word is enough.** `coz` finds Cozumel.
* **Spaces in measurements don't matter.** `3mm` finds a 3 mm suit, and `12kg` finds a 12 kg weight belt.
* **It works offline.** Search filters the dives already on your phone, so it needs no connection.

## If your dives don't load

If the logbook can't load, the page says it couldn't load your dives and shows **retry**. Check your connection and tap **retry**. The **add dive** row stays available.
