The bar doesn't list captures by name. It turns your words into a search on the library.
Command bar
Search your library and run commands from the keyboard: go somewhere, add a filter, switch the theme or open a setting.

Use it
Press ⌘K, or choose View → Command Bar.
Browse the groups, or type to search them.
Use ↑ and ↓ to move, and ↩ to run a row.
Press Esc to clear what you typed, or to close the bar when it's empty.
Search your captures
Type the words you're looking for.
Choose Search for “your words”. The library shows the matches, sorted by Best match.
To pick a tag, start with #. To pick a space, start with @.
Press ⌫ in an empty field to remove the last filter.

Questions
How do I find a capture by name?
Type the words and choose Search for. The library filters to matches; the bar itself doesn't list captures.
Why is Back missing?
The History group only shows when there's somewhere to go back or forward to.
