Emojis are super useful but if there’s an emoji before the title of a note, that note gets knocked down the list of Obsidian’s quick switcher in favor of anything that starts similarly. The note I’m thinking of would otherwise have been the first thing to come up. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I’d love to have the option to tell the quick switch to ignore emojis.
FWIW, I’m having the same issue. The current search / autocomplete is too naive to be practical. The search should “just” ignore emojis if the query doesn’t have emojis.
Emojis are ubiquitous in notes. In that other post, I shared examples for Notion, Todoist, and even Obsidian:
I should add: we don’t need an additional option, ignoring emojis in the results if there are no emojis in the search query would work.
+1 would be up for this
