Request: fuzzier search queries?

Open matthauger opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

First off, love this workflow! Thank you for your work on it!

Right now, if I have a project called "Finish raking leaves," and I try to search via the workflow for "Finish leaves" (no quotes), I get zero results. Any possibility of implementing a "fuzzier" search algorithm that would pick up matches, even if they're split across a string?

Again, thanks for this tool!

That's a good idea - leave it with me.

Cheers, Rhyd

I would also love this! Sometimes I search for a project name that has a "-" in the name, but forget to add that when searching. Fuzzier search would be awesome!

This beta version of the Search OmniFocus workflow includes .z and .zp keywords to perform fuzzy searches. You should be able to install this alongside the existing workflow and try it out.
