zetteldeft-full-search-find-file: possibility to see results as we type keywords? #129

Closed iburunat closed 2 years ago

iburunat commented 2 years ago

Hi, I recently started using the new functions to find notes via full content search, excellent addition!

To use zetteldeft-full-search-find-file I must a priori set the keywords and then press enter to see a list of files containing those keywords.

Now the improvement would be to have results appear (in the results buffer) as the user types keywords (the user could rectify or add more keywords depending on the list of resulting files for better filtering). Is this a feasible feature?

You might try consult-grep, which does something like what you describe

Thanks, is this similar to helm-ag or helm-rg? There are so many similar functions that I am confused about their scopes.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's feasible to include this with the current -full-search functions, seeing how they are implemented. But if someone achieves this by modifying the current zetteldeft--full-search, I'd be happy to include it. But for now I'm closing this issue.
