Hi folks, enjoying the setup process for Obsidian. Many thanks in particular to @nickmilo for his beginner video course.
For my GTD process I’d like to be able to use tags as contexts that pull up a list of context-appropriate tasks. For example, if I have a bunch of things I need to do after upgrading my phone to iOS14, and those things are spread through multiple docs, I’d like to be able to search “#iOS14” to generate a clear list of contextual to-do’s.
Is this possible with Obsidian currently? I understand how to copy search results, but that gives me document titles, not the specific text lines that end with a tag.
@ryanjamurphy Ahhh, thanks. I’d been searching for tag help vs search help. That mostly solved the issue. Downloaded Vantage, looks great, looking forward to exploring it.
In case a dev reads this - a further embedded search optimisation for this use case would be seeing the full tagged text line/paragraph in the embedded search, vs having to click through to each original doc to see the context.
I spoke too soon. It was all in the bracketing. Look for lines which are both the context and unchecked, then the page with the query itself need not be excluded as it doesn’t match anyway.
@ryanjamurphy looping back – guessing there’s no way to exclude the regex itself from the search results? i.e. the #ios14 tag in the search string shows up in the search results, using the above method
