[Feature Request] Advanced Search #539

It would be great to have more advanced search capabilities when looking through notes by keyword or tag. Some ideas for advanced search features:

More advanced search functionality would make it much easier to find relevant notes when you have a large knowledge base built up. Often you don't remember the exact title or phrasing of a note, but with boolean operators and partial matching you could piece together a keyword search to find what you need more easily.

By adding tag filters, date ranges, and regex you expand the options for drilling down on a subset of notes. Saving common searches would let users access their frequent searches more quickly.

Overall this would really improve the knowledge management capabilities and make complex searches on notes a breeze. Please consider adding some advanced search capabilities like these to power up the search experience. Let me know if any part of this needs clarification!

Edit: now that I think about it, this would require a database and I don't think this program uses one, so I'd say this is out of scope. I'll let you decide.
