Omnisearch for Obsidian
🏆 Winner of the 2023 Gems of the Year in the "Existing plugin" category 🏆
Omnisearch is a search engine that "just works".
It always instantly shows you the most relevant results, thanks to its smart weighting algorithm.
Under the hood, it uses the excellent MiniSearch library. This free plugin is totally unrelated to the omnisearch.ai paid product.

the BM25 algorithm
- The relevance of a document against a query depends on the number of times the query terms appear in the document, its filename, and its headings
- Keyboard first: you never have to use your mouse
- Workflow similar to the "Quick Switcher" core plugin
- Opt-in local HTTP server to query Omnisearch from outside of Obsidian
- Resistance to typos
- Switch between Vault and In-file search to quickly skim multiple results in a single note

"expressions in quotes"and-exclusions - Filters file types with
.jpgor.md - Directly Insert a
[[link]]from the search results - Supports Vim navigation keys
