It’s great that we can search filenames only with “file:” or paths with “path:”, but it would be great to get additional operators like “content:” and “tag:” (and, I suppose, operators for any other parameters - date created, modified, hasbacklinks, etc…).

Does that need to be a requirement for attribute-based searches? :-x I think of tag:fancy as a way to limit results to files with that tag, not searching for where tags are inside of files.

I would love real tag-based filtering.

I’m not certain if this is on topic or off, but multimarkdown allows for a meta area at the top, so most of my files get a

tag: #tag1 #tag2 #tag3

at the top.

Definitely related - YAML headers is something I’d love to see in Obsidian. I’d use more tags with it, and the tag: (or any) search operator would make it more useful.

For anyone subscribed here who is interested, this has been implemented in the latest insider build. But the filename and content results are now intermixed in the default search.

A new request has been opened for Separating Filename search results from Content results - feel free to lend your support there!
