Updates 2023/10/14 It seems clear to me now that 10000 searchable items will cause this behavior (according to White noise and my testing.) This includes files (attachments included), broken links and aliases. For further information, see Options to control the Quick Switcher algorithm above 10’00…

This isn’t a bug, it’s a performance optimization. [image] Quick Switcher search seems to behave differently and miss some request Help If you have over 10000 notes, it uses a simpler algorithm. If you have attachments, they probably also count towards this nu…

Thanks @Alicila for linking my forum post and thanks @CawlinTeffid for pointing to the Feature Request (I would like to double the request for such a switch!!). I’d like to ask for some clarification on the algorithm’s spec… and maybe we are not talking about the same thing here: So both, @Alicila …

I’d expect autocomplete and quick switcher to use the same algorithm, but I don’t know for sure. Since you’re seeing different behavior I’m moving the thread back out of the graveyard. (I saw the simpler algorithm in quick switcher for a while when I had ~7,700 notes too — not sure why, and it’s no…

Thanks @CawlinTeffid . Btw.: I’ve just posted to the linked Feature Request, with some arguments why there should be more proactive information about the existence and behavior of the algorithm.

I have a large vault. I have many notes with filenames with spaces in them. I use the Various Complements plugin. I can set trigger for 2 or 3 words in Vault Complement and not remember not getting a find. On the plus side, no need to start with [[, either. Give it a shot, if you like the sound of a…

Quick switcher (and Quick switcher++ plugin) behaves normally, with fuzzy search, without any performance issue. I believe this means that fuzzy search is feasible at current vault size.

It’s 10000 searchable items, that includes notes, attachments and other files in you have that enabled.

But how is quick switcher working fine at this size? (Which demonstrates that, potentially, wiki link can work fine too?)

It all depends on how fast your computer is.

It’s 10000 searchable items Thanks @WhiteNoise . May you elaborate a bit further on “searchable items”: How about wiki-links to non-existing notes? How about aliases? Do they all count, too? Is this documented somewhere? Moreover, for a standard user without coding-skills, I believe there is no w…

Wiki link autocomplete cannot do fuzzy search in large vault

This isn’t a bug, it’s a performance optimization.

There’s a request to allow fuzzy search on larger vaults.
