Use case or problem
YAML metadata headers are a useful way to add information to a page. It would be nice to have a clean and efficient way to search them
using Obsidian’s core search features.
Proposed solution
A search operator like key::
(notice the double colon), where “key” is any arbitrary metadata header in your notes’ YAML metadata.
Current workaround (optional)
Dataview.

However, Dataview queries are a bit harder to write than Obsidian’s core search queries, and there’s no “search pane” for dataview.
