Smart Groups / Advanced Search / Queries
planned
Jonathan Simcoe
I've seen other suggestions around queries and search. What I would love to see is a way to search collections of notes together. For instance let's say I want to see instance where an entity (such and such Meeting) intersects with the tags
#journal or #therapy) there is no easy to create this query or search. Roam has pretty advanced querying but they are not user friendly. Height.app has a great example of this with their Smart List UI. It allows you to create named searches and build AND/OR querying that are easy to build and view. I would love to see something like this in Reflect, both a way to do quick one-off search for aggregate entities/tags and a way to create "Views" that are filtered by given criteria.

I believe it is very important for Reflect to enhance the search functionality, and have three requests for improvement (in order of priority):
- Sort order; Reflect encourages Daily Journaling, so the most recent content is relatively more important. Right now it seems to be scored by relevance, and searches often don't lead to the desired content.
- Improved indexing; Occasionally a search for a word in Daily Notes will not return any hits. This may be because I am a Japanese user.
- Saved serach; I would like to have the results of searches by tags or specific terms in the sidebar.

YES -- right now, my search is only bringing up things I've linked to or tagged and I'd like to be able to search on specific terms and have notes come up where that word was mentioned.

I'm on my two week trial. Search functions like this are fairly important to my workflow. Is this planned for soon?
Alex MacCaw
James: It is planned, but not anytime soon.

It would be great if there was an option for the search to return individual lines instead of entire notes!
Alex MacCaw
Tieshun Roquerre: We are going to fix this.

Would love the ability to have advanced search like this that could be saved and pinned as a view.

This might also be perfect for assembling todos related to certain pages or creating a top-level view for todos on your own.
