What you are asking is a variation of > [@Vault Zones/Filters/Focuses (alternative to nested vaults)](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/vault-zones-filters-focuses-alternative-to-nested-vaults/10553): > > Ive been reading about nested vaults wich accomplish a lot of what i want but arent supported and have their own issues; most of what i saw suggests/requests support for then but i think its the wrong way to tackle it (and involves a lot more of headache for coding, memory and such). Heres a different proposal: Use case or problem Handling specific contexts that are too large inside an large and growing main vault- like specific projects- creates a lot of noise; Creating another vault is an way… Both are quite complex to achieve. I am gonna close this FR and suggest you post in the FR above. There are also some narrower FRs in this vein, like: > [@Focus (Hoist) a folder in the vault](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/focus-hoist-a-folder-in-the-vault/287): > > Would like to be able to double-click a folder in the current vault to focus it (e…g, hoist it) so that it appears as the current top level folder in the folder view. > [@Add Filter bar in File Explorer panel (filtering)](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/add-filter-bar-in-file-explorer-panel-filtering/17330): > > Search is invaluable and i like to see search results in context so that is all good. On the file list, i often want to be able to FILTER the file names, much like nvAlt and probably other tools. I am not looking to find content, i am looking to quickly navigate to a file that i know exists – like a project name, a person’s name. A quick filter will return a very short list for me and I can get right in. This could be a plugin possibly or an core feature that can be shown or hidden via setting… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/global-filter-buttons-mini-vaults/88039)._
