Searchable dataview results

Use case or problem

I work with big dataview-tables and realised, that I can only search the dataview-results when I’m in reading-mode.

Proposed solution

it would be very nice, if search could also search dataview tables

Dataview is a community plugin, so I’m not sure this is worth keeping as a Feature Request.

“Dynamic views” is on the roadmap for Obsidian. I don’t know any details for what that will entail, but maybe we’ll see a more integrated query system.

For now, I’m going to move this to Help. Maybe people have workarounds or ideas for you.

  2. Default search queries · Issue #2282 · blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview · GitHub (this maybe doesn’t seem related. I’m just searching for “search”)

  3. Make tables visible for search · Issue #2248 · blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview · GitHub
