Add search for notebooks

Open JonatanSahar opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I couldn't find a way to search for a specific notebook, which struck me as really strange since they are such a major part of the interface.. Personally, I use many separate .org files interconnected through links, such that each of my notes is in fact treated as a separate notebook in Orgzly, and I miss this ability very much. For now, I resorted to adding a "note" (heading) to each notebook, searching for that, and getting to the notebook through the backlink in the note.

Really great work on Orgzly, btw, it's really appreciated.

b."notebook-name" if that doesn't work then you might need to sync the notebook first (http://www.orgzly.com/help#0eb6241)

Just to expand on the initial feature request. Even though b."notebook name" works if you type in the notebook name in full, there seems to be no way to partially match the notebook name.

In my case I sync all org roam content to orgzly and usually keep longer names for my notes which I don't expect to type in full when searching for them.

If something like bp."note" would return all notebooks that even have the word "note" in the title, searching in my case would become more practical.
