By all respect but i too think this bug report isn’t sufficiently “solved”, adding workarounds like " or \ to make searches work, is unintuitive, not user friendly.
The task of computers and apps is to improve the state of flow and compute repetitive tasks as well as solve technical gaps not related to our daily work.
This change intentional and was made to accommodate the properties search and refactor the search box parser. If using quotation marks is unsatisfactory, feel free to open a Feature Request with alternative proposal.
This is a regression. It doesn’t make sense to break a feature so another half-baked/poorly thought out feature can be implemented. This is worst than not having an UI for the frontmatter (Properties is basically this).
This obviously is a bug, even when it doesn’t find anything it still shows “2 results” and even an error in the console.
