Right now, any search populates results from both the note name and the context of within the body of each note. That is great. Please don’t change that. However… Please add the option for searches to simply populate just the filenames. Just a nice clean list of note names that carry some instance…

I’d like to also recommend that this be an option for Backlinks and Unlinked Mentions, for similar reasons.
