New plugin: Simple CanvaSearch (search all cards/notes/groups inside current canvas)

I created this basic plugin for myself because it became really annoying looking for where I placed a specific note within my 300+ note canvas, so thought I would share it with others until this is eventually added as an official feature.

Features:

  • fuzzy search all notes/card within the currently opened canvas
  • customize whether fuzzy search will look at note content or title only
  • once a result is selected the modal closes and you’re taken to that note’s position in the canvas

How to use it:

  • just bind a key combination to the shortcut for opening the modal then press it inside a canvas

Hope this is useful for other people too, created a PR for it to be included to community plugins too in the future and here’s a link to the github, you can grab main.js and manifest.js from here: https://github.com/ddalexb/obsidian-simple-canvasearch/releases

Also, can you make color of highlighting of found test more distinctive?
