Is there a way to search for things inside all of the notes or specific notebooks like grep? I know it's possible to export notes to a markdown directory and just use grep, but I'd like to do such a search quite often though the day, so I'm interested if there's some way to do that directly without …

Unfortunately, it won't work (properly) for this use case. It pulls the note bodies from the api as they're requested, which means grepping would be hitting the api for each and every note. I never profiled this, but I suspect it's slow.

Is it possible to do a markdown export using the command line? Maybe I could write a script to export the date to some path several times a day and then grep the data?

Have a look at Joplin Filesystem (JoplinFS)
