The app looks and feels great. One thing that I think would be a great boon would be adding some more advanced search features. If I’m not mistaken, it just looks for words that exist linearly in a file. Some things that would be useful include:
regex
operators (||, &&)
wildcards (*, ?)
quotes to search for full phrases (I know fuzzy search is planned)
specifiers (e.g. tag:markdown to search for files containing the “markdown” tag)
I use deepdwn to plan out features for projects, take work notes, and make personal notes. I’d like to use the search feature to filter by tags.
Some examples of using advanced search features:
In a StarCraft 2 project I could have the tags unit, structure, and terran and use the search terms tag:terran && tag:unit to search for terran units. Or perhaps tag:terran && (tag:unit || tag:structure) for some more advanced filtering.
Presently the search feature seems a bit limited, so I would only use it for quickly looking up something by name.
That reminds me, another great search feature would be the ability to negate a term with hyphen (-).
Thanks, it’s really helpful to have an idea about how people use Deepdwn.
That makes sense. Part of fuzzy searching would definitely need to include things like phrase searching and negation. Boolean operators like || and && would be nice to have.
The UI would need to change a bit to accommodate these, I think, I might be able to sneak them at some point :)
