a search funtion

[peterjosvai]

hi!

Tangent is not only beautiful and sleek but also extremely useful and intuitive!
Thanks to its organic development for personal use :)

---

I've been using it now for over a week... along with Marktext, the good new version (v0.18.6 -- the Tkaixiang fork)...
And all I can say is that Tangent is amazing.
Its state of development is well beyond 98% when Firefox is at 99.9% at v.120+ :)

It must be mentioned that Tangent has a style, in use too.
So, not everything that a markdown editor can do is necessary for Tangent.

Tables, for example...
Rendering could be just one grade nicer, but it's really not necessary.
Also, there are all those html styling, like align right, etc...
NO! :) NOt necessary.
Tangent is not Libreoffice.
Tangent is sleek, and it should remain this way :)

This is the context in which I mention that a search functionality could be absolutely GREAT :)

I mean, up in the top line -- menu bar... search!
Then two options: in the title / in the text (including the title).

And the search results could appear in the already famous tangent view,
with document previews in a window...
maybe, if more results, then smaller previews...

The point is only: search within the workspace.

Let me admit that 90% of this functionality is already present :)

Congratulations again, and great many thanks!!!
Cause Tangent is great! Young but totally mature :)

Have you tried out the query system? You can make a new query with Ctrl+Shift=F. It's somewhat more complex, but it can get you most of the way there.

One of the reasons I haven't added a "search" box/button to the top bar is that I wasn't sure how that should interact with queries. There's also the search box brought up with Ctrl+O.

My intuition thinking about it right now is that the Ctrl+O command bar, a "Search" button, the idea of quickly searching by title/content, and opening a full query should be one funnel of finding stuff.
