Feature Request: sort by matches in search results

Open Gregory-K opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

In "Settings/Interface/Panels", there is an option to "Show the number of matches in each note".
It is certainly a useful feature, especially when searching for common key-words, and most of the time common keywords means that the result list is big.

I guess it's not that easy as it seems,
same widget listing all notes not using a database (a good thing, I am pro-portability),
but if it is possible,
it would be nice to have the ability to sort notes by matches as a first(?) parameter, always "on" or just in search results(?). Sort "Alphabetical" and "By date" will work as a second parameter for the "same number of matches" notes.

Sorry, not a QT dev, Just a thought ...

Yes, tricky indeed. But thank you for your suggestion. 😁
