Search

Definition

When we say "Search" in Thorg, we mean searching the note content along with key metadata including note title and note name.

Tips

  • When you enter search terms without quotation marks, their placement in the note is irrelevant.
    • Use quotation marks around search terms to search for them in exact sequence.
  • Full words match better. While search has some fuzziness enabled, aim to use complete words that you remember.
    • Example: If you remember the note has in-hierarchy visited but don't want to type "hierarchy":
      • ✅ DO: Try searching in visited to see if that's enough
      • ❌ AVOID: Typing partial words like in hier visit

Quick search commands in this hierarchy use the VSCode quick pick widget for fast searching without navigating to a search view. This enables snappy searches, but comes with visualization limitations (such as the inability to widen the quick pick to fit longer note names).

If you use a non-standard zoom level in VSCode, you may want to adjust thorg.visualPreferences.vsc.quickPick.maxLabelLength: Max Length of VSCode Quick Pick Labels (Before Truncation).

See child notes in this hierarchy for the different quick search commands available, as well as Thorg Highlighted Commands.
