Sparking a recall

Start with a ? and one thing you remember. It works by association — one fragment brings the rest back.

Example
?word
Recalls anything matching that word.
?Joe Bloggs
?Hannah
? "Full Name"
Recalls specifically those words together, the same way quote marks work in a Google search.

Note the required space after the ?
? "Joe Bloggs"
