As you type, it suggests spaces, tags, types, dates, colors and more. Press Tab to take the first one.
You can also type a tag with “#”, a space with “@” and its exact name, or a color. “is:” filters aren't supported here.
Quick Search matches words only. Search by meaning and Similar are in the main window. See Search by meaning.

The shortcut is called Spotlight search, in Settings → Shortcuts → Global capture. If another app already uses it, Settings shows a notice under the row.
Without a shortcut, open Quick Search from Search in the menu bar menu, or from Open quick search in the ⌘K bar.
