BUG/FEATURE?
TLDR: When a note is marked as hidden client side, it is still searchable in the search bar on obsidian publish.
It is somewhat unclear whether this is a bug or a feature, I’m submitting it with the bug report layout under a feature request tag.
Ideally, a hidden note only shows up from [[hiddenNote]] or publish.obsidian.md/mysite/hiddenNote, not from the search bar on a publish site.
Ideal fix/feature
Hide hidden notes from the search function on the browser, perhaps with a tag search:false or otherwise
Steps to reproduce
Create a publish site, upload some notes. Turn on show navigation, List some notes as hidden using the publish setting menu, update changes and search for now hidden notes using the obsidian publish search feature.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
I didn’t trial this in the troubleshooting guide. Sigrunixia said that the trial vault testing doesn’t apply in this case.
Expected result
“Hidden” notes not coming up on search, instead only visible through direct URL to page, or wiki link: [[hiddenPage]]
