Search with data view

Things I have tried

What I’m trying to do

Dear Obsidian Community,

I recently started to use obsidian for my research work - but I am still an absolute newcomer.

Therefore I want to ask if anyone has a suggestion for a smart solution to the following problem.

And I am also using data view .

I am reading lots of documents about a certain topic. In the notes I am taking from this readings I would like to mark individual sentences tag them.

So at the end I wish to see a list of all sentences I market related to the tag: e.g.

All sentences that constitute an institutional gab or a business risk … and so forth.

I would be more than happy to find a solution for that.

Best Markus

Your best bet would be search/query. I don’t think dataview can return a block unless u make it a key:: value pair. So right now you may do this

```query
block:(#yourtag)

Searching Tagged blocks

Things I have tried What I do ; I usually divide my notes in different blocks (5 lines usually) put a header put tags When I do a Search using Obsidian Seach or Dataview, it returns the entire page, i would expect the Search to return the block only. indeed i could just divide my main notes into as many notes as i have blocks and linked to the main notes …does it make sense? What I’m trying to do

DataView doesn’t support blocks yet, but eventually will. https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/30
