Hi, Now that I have more a more documents written in Joplin, because is a wonderful tool that I enjoy to use, I have a feature request that will make my life a bit easier, and potentially other people’s life too. I’m talking about the search functionality, that works like a charm, but when you hav…

I am affected by this as well. I have repeated notes in a similar way so that searches for those terms are very confusing exactly as described in this. I essentially just accepted it and never search for those terms which I admit is a terrible solution and I would much rather it display the full pat…

and as an extra goal, if the path could be clickable, it would be great!

That would be great. I’d really like Joplin to have a way of quickly getting to the notebook that holds a note found by searching. It’s a feature I often used in Evernote.

I like the idea. It should be rather easy to get the full path. But I am not sure how to make it clickable. I’m not good with UI stuff. @laurent , would you accept a PR that shows the full notebook path?

A clickable Path would be a great relief. Sometimes it takes me a long time to find the location of a note.

This has already been added to the code by @laurent and will be available in the next release. It doesn’t show the full path though, but when you click on it the folder and note is opened.

Clickable path and Go to Anything in 1.0.142 are super. Joplin is getting better and better. Great work!

Well, the folder is selected, but for some reason the parent folders are not expanded. IMO this worked at one point. So this seems like a regression. Please open a gh issue to track this. The tree should have been expanded at the first click.
