0.2.1 — Real fix for mention-ranking noise, plus data-access transparency
0.2.0 was tagged before the word-boundary ranking fix landed, so it's shipping separately here.
Fixed
- The actual fix for the "unrelated results" bug: querying "test" was still surfacing titles like "Fatestrange Fake" because "test" is a coincidental mid-word substring of "Fatestrange" — the previous tiering counted that as a real match. Matching now requires the query to start an actual word in the title, not just appear as a substring anywhere. Fuzzy matches are also no longer mixed in alongside real matches — they only show up on their own when nothing real matched at all.
Documentation
- Added a "Data access" section to the README disclosing that the plugin reads every file name in the vault (plus stub file headings) to power the mention suggester — never file content, no network requests — per the Obsidian plugin review's recommendation.
See CHANGELOG.md for details.
