# Player notes

Staff++ reworked how the player notes work to be more consistent with the staff++ other features.\
Notes are now stored in the database and can be synced across multiple servers.\
\
Staff++ also added the ability to create private notes.

### Searching player notes

You can use the /notes command to search for notes. Staff++ provides you several filters which you can use with the notes command:

| Filter                 | Description                                                                                                                             |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| -id=\[noteId]          | search by a note's ID                                                                                                                   |
| -private=\[true/false] | Search only private or only public notes                                                                                                |
| -target=\[playername]  | Search notes specifically linked to a player (you can also just provide the playername as first parameter instead of using this option) |
| -notedBy=\[playername] | Search all notes created by the given player                                                                                            |
| -note=\[note text]     | Search all notes that contain the given text. If you want to use spaces in you need to surround it with double quotes                   |

#### Example

Find all private notes for player "garagepoort" containing the words "is hacking"

```
/notes garagepoort -private=true -note="is hacking"
```

![](/files/-MinKus3HhP7YZXnQO--)

Or in chat with the list "-l" option

```
/notes garagepoort -private=true -note="is hacking" -l
```

![](/files/-MinL77DMH_VSVjH9Ao-)

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that private notes are marked with \[P] in chat.
{% endhint %}

### Private notes

Staff members can create private notes if they have the correct [permission](/features/player-notes.md#permissions). A private note can only be seen by the player who has created it. \
\
A private note can be create with the `/note` command using the `-private` option. Or by using the `/pnote` command.&#x20;
