A simple solution is to open a terminal in JupyterLab/Jupyter Notebook and run the following:
grep --include='*.ipynb' --exclude-dir='.ipynb_checkpoints' -rliw . -e 'search query' This will search your Jupyter server root recursively for files that contain the whole word (case-insensitive) "search query" and only return the file names of matches.
