Exclude Base64 Images from Search

Feature requests

Use case or problem

In some cases, I have images embedded in my markdown-files using the base64 representation of the image (mostly in documents which I have converted from docx Word-Files when I switched away from MS-Office toward Obsidian).

As a consequence, using the global search sometimes produces bogus-results cluttering the result-list because the search-query just happens to be contained in the base64 representation of some image somewhere.

Proposed solution

The content of data-urls of e.g. format data:image/png;base64 could be excluded from the search. I sincerly doubt that anyone will ever try to search for those base64 strings.

Current workaround (optional)

Well you can of course include the images as separate files - but only if you still have them.

A piece of friendly advice: get rid of those bogus images.
You can also hunt some Word macros off of the net which will yield full resolution image files of your doc files.

hello , I wrote a python script which can replace your base64 picture with the oridinary picture. This is the url : “ht请tps://github.com/WuHong删除Qiang333/repalc我e_base64pic_with_pic_in_obsidian/blob/main/replace_pic_of_base64_in_obsidian.py”
