Smart search for metadata

Help
1

Hi all,
I wonder whether a smart metadata search exists in obsidian or in one of its plugins that is similar to the tags view.
I mean, when using tags it is very convenient to later open the tags view panel, see all of them in a hierarchical view, click on one of the items and immediately obtain a quick search for those notes.
Instead, I’m not able to find a similar functionality for front matter metadata.

Should I create different search pages for each of my relevant metadata?

Thanks in advance.

Couple of ideas:

  1. Search Properties
  2. Currently in beta testing, Bases

Other than what Guapa suggested above and as you mention the tags pane, there’s also the All properties view :blush: …
(You might need to enable the Properties view core plugin in Obsidian’s settings to be able to open the view through the command palette)

Don’t beat yourself up over this :blush: …
IMHO, it’s an easily overlooked/forgettable view (as, iirc, the Properties view core plugin is disabled by default) :smile: … I just happen to have been using the All properties view more lately, while using the Insider/Catalyst release of Obsidian :blush:
