As originally described in this thread and also confirmed by others, backlinks and search results always show uncollapsed be default.
When I collapse my backlinks, the expected behavior would be that after a restart of obsidian they still appear collapsed.
Yet, the actual behavior is that by default they appear uncollapsed again.
This, of course, is not a really huge problem as I can collapse them again via a click. But as there seem to be a couple of people (like me) who like their backlinks or search results in most cases only showing up with their file names, this behavior can be a bit annoying. It would thus be really great if this could be resolved in one of the next releases!
with a few other people we seemed to determine it was a bug. (Although we could be wrong)
In case it’s not a bug it’d be good to open the feature request back since it was marked as “Resolved Help”
I’m not sure if this works for anyone, I tried it both in Linux and Mac and the “collapse search result” turns off every time after restart.
Like @alltagsverstand said this can get annoying for those of us who prefere to have “collapse search result” turned on by default, and workspaces don’t seem to leave it on either.
