Is :ZkNotes supposed to search notes contents as well as title? #71

[jordelver]

I've started playing around with zk and zk.vim and I've found the behaviour of :ZkNotes confusing.

zk list --interactive seems to search both the titles of the notes and the content of the notes.

Using :ZkNotes only searches the titles.

I understand that zk is using fzf to achieve this, but I expected :ZkNotes to work the same way.

Is there any way to achieve the same behaviour or a reason to not do this?

I don't think there's any reason to avoid this, but showing only the title in the :ZkNotes is cleaner. I'm not sure we can change the color to hide the body of the note like with fzf in command line.

However I agree this would be a useful addition, either as an option or a different command. This will need to be implemented for each picker (telescope, fzf).

That would work for me I think. It was more about the search. Do people typically only search notes by the title only?

Forgive my ignorance but does :ZkNotes search for notes using the LSP?

Personally I use junegunn/fzf.vim for content search from within Vim.

You can provide a number of filtering options but these are not interactive. Once the picker is displayed, any interactive filtering is handled by Telescope or fzf.

Telescope can live grep too, if that is what you want.

Live grep works pretty well for me.

local builtin = require("telescope.builtin")
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>fg", builtin.live_grep, { desc = "telescope | Live grep" })

I've been using live grep too but I would love a way to emulate the search of zk list -i which is much faster (as far as I understand because it uses the index database) and displays the actual Zettel-title instead of the file name. Is there a built-in way to do this or has anyone built a solution for something like this? @mickael-menu are you using fzf.vim just like a normal live-grep without any of the extra stuff that zk list -i brings?

Edit: Forgot to mention but the snippet provided here doesn't work for me (nil values in entries etc.)
