FR: Blacklist common short words / minimum suggestion length #40

Open wwwald opened 2 years ago

wwwald commented 2 years ago

I'm usually creating a lot of daily notes with short, descriptive titles that often contain very common wording ("the", "meeting", "test", ...). This causes Sidekick to underline every common word as a suggested link - which is complete overkill and probably slows down the process. I'm guessing I can't be alone with this?

I would suggest a "minimum match length" configuration parameter and/or an option to blacklist certain very common words from being linked.

Just installed this plugin and found it amazing. Still, this is the first thought I had after using it. Common words are highlighted all the time.

I think blacklisting some common words would be a better approach, since some of us may have note names and terms as initials for example, which may be compromised when using a minimum match length approach.

NLP approach would probably solve this problem.
