Feature Request: Search content across multiple documents #585

Open byunicorn opened 10 years ago

byunicorn commented 10 years ago

Hi, I have used stackedit to do daily record for a while and my records are named with date. So when I want to search something, it's a little difficult to recall in which file it is. I wonder if StackEdit can provide the feature to search content in all documents or the documents under the same directory. I'd really appreciate this feature.

Thanks

I wrote a UserCustom extension to do that: https://github.com/benweet/stackedit/wiki/UserCustom.globalSearch

It doesn't have the ability to search in specific folders, though...

If this gets implementated, I think it useful to have search queries performed using URL variables. This would allow easy searches from browser URL/location bars.

Hi - It looks like the link to the extension is not working. Does the extension still exist, or is there another preferred way to be able to search content? I'm trying to settle on a simple Wiki for storing information, and StackEdit might able to act as that to some degree, but without search it will get hard to find all of the information I'm storing. :)

Is this implemented yet..?? Or ever going to..?

1347 seems to be a duplicate of this.

1347 seems to be a duplicate of this.

Not necessarily since #1347 mentions titles or contents. Content search would be awesome, similar to how trello offers searching through card descriptions, however title search on its own would be fantastic.

it's really necessary once it's getting big with the content. I use SE as KM tool, now sticking to it but falling into the dilemma of searching history. Is it possible to use Google's search capabilities if it's using Google Drive as storage?

Have the sample suggestion here.
It will be a great help if we can search globally, as we usually use SE to take note.

Seems this repo hasn't been maintained for a long time.

I found some solutions to fulfil the need for global search (full text search):

  1. Someone made a rework of StackEdit, https://github.com/Flamenco/stackeditpro, which support global search across all documents in your workspace. Though it isn't open-source, it's currently free.
  2. On the menu of StackEdit, there's an option for WORKSPACE BACKUPS, export it, you will get a JSON file of your whole workspace:
