Hello everyone, I'm Marta from Joplin team :wave:. We are currently looking into improving search functionality in Joplin. We would like to hear more about your experience when using it. If you would like to contribute and help us better understand the process, please answer the following questions…

It would be nice to be able to save searches to be run with a single click. This way I could have search that I can quickly run to find my favorites. Yes there are plugins but the problem with plugins is they don't work on all platforms and I use most if not all the platforms. Thanks.

This recent plugin addresses some of the features mentioned in this post, if anyone wants to give it a try. While it is primarily an (inline) tag search system (which affects its design), it can be configured to search among all words in the text (see Tips), both as complete words and as word segmen…

yes, sorting the search results by different fields like notebook, date, title and so on will be power feature also "search saves" for quick searching

Glad you asked, because I'm an intensive user of Joplin. Usually I choose the PC to write large texts in Joplin, while the phone is enough to find and capture short notes.

Thanks for starting this thread. Even just reading through other people's issues/ideas is teaching me how to use the existing app better. I'm sure any improvements will be well received too. My biggest issue is that I forget about ctrl-p and have a tenancy to click on the search box because it's mo…

@s4j4 and @acemarke This discussion really belongs in a new thread. The one you are posting on is about the existing search feature. The plugin is great, though! Thanks for creating it. Perhaps @moderators could split this convo off into a new thread.

Neat plugin! Here's what I like about it compared to Goto Anything: Shows all matches inside notes (sometimes many more than Goto Anything) Can show many more notes at once compared to the overlay Collapsible notes afford hiding irrelevant matches Multiple notes can be visited without having to re…

That's a nice plugin idea. There are some features which should be added and it would be super.

Can the search results be displayed in a notebook structure?
Can the search results display the path where the notes are located?
Can the search scope include the path where the note is located, in addition to the note title and body text?
