A feature common to a lot of text editors and IDEs is that if you have text selected when you launch search, the selected text is added to the search query. I think this is a vital feature for Obsidian if the goal is connecting ideas. While you are reviewing content, this would allow you to quickly see whether it was used elsewhere.

Btw, has anyone requested search on preview mode, yet? Probs wont be a problem by the time WYSIWYG is up and running that may be ways away.
@jellishero The forum search function is quite good.
You can vote for searching in Preview mode here: Use 'Search current file' in Preview mode
yeah I found it sometime after, but forgot to edit. Sometimes I’d rather ask when the thought popped up than to forget it and remember in a few weeks or months.
Implemented in the upcoming insider release.
