I LOVE how in search if you do “path:” or “tag:” that a popup comes up that you can select from. So you don’t have to do a blind plain text search guessing what the values are (see GIF at bottom of post). Is there any way you can add a “link:” (don’t care what name) where it then pops up the suggestions modal to search page names? So then you select one which would insert into the search [[page name]] for you.
It solves two problems:
don’t have to memorize your page names you are searching for
adds the [[ and ]] which then specifies in search you want the actual page name link found in results as opposed to just plain text match of “page name”.
Proposed solution
Add a “link:” (don’t care what name) just like “path:” and “tag:”, where it then pops up the suggestions modal to search page names. So then you select one which would insert into the search [[page name]] for you.
Current workaround (optional)
None. Manual type and remember page names and hope and pray
Also to be clear, the main thing I want is the modal to pop up to help find the page you want (auto complete) and enter into the search as [[page name link]]. I don’t care if mentions: actually stays in there or not. Really mentions: OR link: (or whatever it is called) would just be a “trigger” to open the fuzzy search suggestion modal for [[page name link]].
So really what may be a fine solution is that simply doing [[ in the search will pop up the page name / mentions suggestion modal just like when you are typing in a note. That is all I really want.
I’d love too to see more suggestions. For ex: I’m using status tags: #status/0-draft , #status/1-edited, #status/2-published
When I do a search, I’d like to type: tag:#status/ and the potential existing tags would be suggested.
(Useful when we forget what was the tag for status 2 ? Was it « #status/2-published or #status/2-finished +.
Also would be nice to do same search with part of tag word (ex: tag:publish to find any tag containing publish
