Omnisearch or Obsidian search integration #6

Open tecnoborder opened 1 year ago

tecnoborder commented 1 year ago

I love the plugin, it would be great to have the ability to search for words within the notes by embedding omnisearch or the native obsidian search plugin

I am also using the surfing plugin and I was wondering if it could be possible to find a way to also add an option to search on the internet

Given the public API of omnisearch, I'll probably add it in the future. Thank you for the request.

It's something I need to investigate more. It'd be nice to find a way to incorporate the surfing plugin. See also #1.

I'm implementing the Omnisearch API and I'm wondering how to let the user select which search method to use. At the moment, I can think of two possible solutions:

  1. Add a switch in the settings to choose whether use Omnisearch or the default search of the plugin.
  2. Add the possibility to search through Omnisearch with a filter key (in the same way as attachments now). This solution could also be used to search on the web, through the surfing plugin, or in some other way I'll come up with.

What do you think?

Love this! Thank you! Probably option two allows for more flexibility. An alternative could be to add two buttons below (like in google search): search with omni search or search the web (via surfing)

wow, thanks for implementing this!! do you think it will be possible in the future to also implement an obsidian native search? Omni search does not support exact search, e.g. queries like "word1" "word2"

At the moment I'm not planning to add it (but any PR is welcome). I'm prioritizing improving Omnisearch support and trying to implement a web search. It may be a possible future feature.
