Obsidian query integration

[gpQ4utjefs]

Obsidian allow for query to search and output any string..

Syntax

Regarding osidian

• Yes it is quite similar to Dataview but it is inbuilt and extremely quick

[dwrolvink]

You need to be a bit more specific than that. We are working on the dataview integration, is that something that you mean? #271

[dwrolvink]

Ooh that is pretty cool, didn't know that was a thing.

Do you use complex queries, or just a combination of keywords to search on? if the former, could you share some?

Quite a big feature. We have fuzzy search already, but that is in javascript, and not really usable for precompilation. Perhaps I can find a Rust/Go based fuzzy search util and use that to start offloading cpu intensive work to subprograms written in quicker languages.

[gpQ4utjefs]

I mostly use simple queries like:
line:(foo bar)
tag:#work
But query can be extremely complex too -

Any progress on this issue sir?

[dwrolvink]

I have not yet started, and when I do it will probably take some days before you get anything usable.
I have a busy weekend coming up and already not feeling that well so I think earliest that I start on this one is next weekend.

Editing existing features / bugfixes I often do in the evenings during the week, but for an entirely new one I want to really reserve some time to get a first setup going.

PR's always welcome of course.

[dwrolvink]

So I'm pretty busy at the moment, not much time for coding I am afraid. Like always: low hanging fruit and bugfixes have priority, so this feature will be put on the back burner for now. Don't expect any progress on this the coming months.

[dwrolvink]

A first mvp version was added:

https://obsidian-html.github.io/Demonstrations/Embedded%20search.html

Let me know if you still use obsidianhtml, and what kind of queries don't work / don't work as expected, or other usecases that you would want to see implemented.

Adding search results from within each matched note will be added next.

[dwrolvink]

alright, it's starting to come together

matches from the note content are processed fairly okay now
just the matches from tags, title, etc are missing

https://obsidian-html.github.io/Demonstrations/Embedded%20search.html

[bhickta]

Matches form tags are not working properly

Example

if we search #tag/subtag, it gives output as if tag and subtags are different words. That is it gives output for search for individual words "tag" and "subtag"

Appreciation

• Great feature

[dwrolvink]

Alright, it should be possible to search for specific tags now, see

• https://obsidian-html.github.io/Demonstrations/Embedded%20search.html#!search-for-a-specific-tag

It does still have a bug that in a normal search, it will show tags twice sometimes, I'm working on that.

This was a bit harder to implement than that I had expected, so just happy to get this out already.

Issue: Not giving integrated search i.e. search for specific pattern only
If i query for "#london/hotel" or "#london/hotel", it gives output as

• lor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt london/hotel lor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
• voluptate velit esse cillum london/hotel dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur
• idunt ut labore et dolore magna hotel aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam
• sunt in culpa hotel qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
• enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud london exercitation ullamco laboris

What i think it would give

• lor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt london/hotel lor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
• voluptate velit esse cillum london/hotel dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur

[dwrolvink]

I've tried to implement this, but whoosh does not parse lookarounds properly, so my hands are tied at the moment.
A workaround would be to just use tag:#london/hotel instead of #london/hotel. Should give you the same results in Obsidian and the desired result in ObsidianHtml.

[bhickta]

tag:#london/hotel, this is not working too. It gives same result as #london/hotel

[dwrolvink]

Works for me. See https://obsidian-html.github.io/Demonstrations/Embedded%20search.html#!search-for-a-specific-tag when searching for tag:#babayaga it only finds that tag, and not tag bla/babayaga.

When is the last time you've pulled new code?

[dwrolvink]

Closing due to lack of feedback

[markfaine]

Is this feature dead?
