BASES - Feature Request: Filtering on partial tag names/nested tags

Feature requests

Use case or problem

In my vault, I have a highly structured note based on Bible pericopae (passages of scripture divided in significant ways for advanced scholarly analysis), where I use multiple semantic tags to create multiple levels of categorization (i.e. 1/ tag means something, as does a 7/, 11/, etc.).

This makes filtering and finding lightning fast in Obsidian’s default search tool. However, it does not seem that the filtering language in Bases currently allows for searching on nested tags/partial tag names:

Proposed solution

Create a way where I can filter not only on a tag like #11/ant/001, but also #11/ant or #11 and have it iterate through nested tags.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Could you clarify how you generated that query field? I do not see how to get from here to what seems to be a more open field that you are able to type in free-form:

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was hoping I could do. I apologize if I replied after closing this, but I wanted to express my thanks for the quick response resolving my question.

You’re welcome, and all good! Glad it worked out.

We’re all learning Bases together – it’s powerful already and I’m excited to see where it goes.
