Community Directory: Emoji Insensitive Search
I like putting an emoji in front of my note names, but it pushes those notes down in the Quick Switcher. For example, typing atlas shows Atlas Headrest before 🌍 Atlas.
A feature request suggested ignoring emojis in the results when the query contains none, so I created Emoji Insensitive Search with the help of AI.
When your query has no emoji, the native Quick Switcher (Ctrl+O / Cmd+O) and [[ link suggestions compare note names, paths, and aliases without their emojis:
atlasputs
Atlas firstcalputs
Calendar ahead of Calendar 2026
If you type an emoji, search works as before. Highlights stay on the original name, and Obsidian’s accent-insensitive search keeps working. No settings, and notes are never modified.
Requires Obsidian 1.15 or later. Tested on desktop, not yet on mobile.
