Operator Description Example Searches within the title and body of the note foo searches for all notes with foo in title or body. foo bar searches for all notes with foo in title or body and bar in title or body. foo -bar searches for all notes with “foo” that don’t contain "bar" "foo ba…

I may be nitpicking but is there a way to escape the " to search for something like this title:"the title of this note is \"title\"" Probably more useful for searching within the body rather than the title.

When I write a note, usually I think of something todo. So I use “- [ ]” to put a checkbox. I also add ** or == or ++ to mark it as important or urgent. - [ ] **==urgent & important==** - [ ] **important** - [ ] ==urgent== - [ ] ++autre++ Then I could really use something like isimportant: as a sh…

Thanks for making the doc @naviji . Just a few questions and comments: What if the user doesn't use any of these operators? What's being searched by default? I think we should document this. in: To keep the implementation more flexible and to make it easier to extend it in the future, I think w…

For me, it would be more useful to show notes created since that date. Good luck!

How does github search handle this? Maybe there’s a way to use > and <, e.g.: created:>20200501 or some other form of range indicators

Something like this? Notes created on that date created:20200501 Notes created after May 1, 2020 created:>20200501 Notes created before May 1, 2020 created:<20200501 I think it’s also useful to support ranges between two dates. created:2012..2020

Yep, whatever you think makes sense. The options are endless. e.g. for ranges you could also allow partial notations, as you’ve already done with your last example: YYYY YYYYMM YYYYMMDD But that’s all up to you, but ultimately depends on Laurent’s approval.

For me it seems like the default behavior, not using one of the key words you’ve defined, should be some kind of combination of results with matches in the title AND body. Perhaps this could also be extended to include tags. Also, forgive me if you’ve already addressed this somewhere else, I’m hop…

[image] bisraelsen: Also, forgive me if you’ve already addressed this somewhere else, I’m hoping that the default is a fuzzy search unless specified by " or something else. Generally I don’t know exactly what words or sequence of words I’m looking for. Fuzzy search, in my experience, is superior…

It would be an implied AND between tags. Implied OR between notebook, created and updated.
(AND doesn't make sense here since a note can't belong to multiple notebooks, be created/updated on multiple dates)
