Lean Search 1.0.1

• Stop obsolete searches after the current read batch when the query changes or the search modal closes, reducing wasted reads and text processing during rapid typing.
• Preserve keyboard selection when excerpts finish loading.
• Speed up tokenization by checking for CJK characters without allocating a character array for every token.
• Remove redundant regular-expression compilation during highlighting.

Search ranking, matching, excerpts, and image previews retain their existing behavior.

Validation: core and cache tests, focused search cancellation and mixed-language tokenization tests, Svelte checks, production build, and the 5,000-note synthetic benchmark.

1.0.0

Lean Search 1.0.0

First release. A lean, fast vault search that always surfaces the note you want — precise matching plus heavy frecency (recently/frequently opened notes win), like zoxide.

Highlights

• Fast restarts. A validated, versioned search index is restored across Obsidian restarts, then changed notes are refreshed lazily in the background. Invalid caches safely rebuild.
• Frecency ranking. Notes you open often and recently jump to the top. Empty query lists your most-frecent notes.
• Reliable heading matches. Explicit title/heading substring bonuses so heading hits surface instead of being buried under body text.
• Predictable matching. AND-combined terms, prefix on, fuzzy off by default.
• Tiny footprint. One inverted index in memory; excerpts read on demand.

Query syntax

foo bar (all terms) · "exact phrase" · #tag · -exclude
