Advanced queries and the database documentation?

[ChrisVn]

Thank you for your participation in the discussion.

For me, the problem is not that I don’t feel comfortable learning the advanced queries, but that important information is missing and prevents this.

On the one hand, simple queries don’t work as they should in theory and are still very limited:

Support for plain text search in simple queries

Eg blocks: TODO car wash NOW do car oil change Requesting the ability to search for all tasks that have the word car in them. Something like: query (and "car" (todo NOW LATER TODO WAITING)) github request

Query to find TODOs with my name?

Since this query does not work as a simple query: {{query (and "myName" (todo waiting doing)) }} see here: I wanted to ask if this could be done as an advanced query? Find all todos with the status “todo, waiting or doing” that contain the word “myName”. Thanks

Simple Query: option to exclude context

Add an option to simple queries to spit out only the matching block without including the context (i.e., no parent and children blocks). On discord here.

On the other hand, important information is missing to write the advanced queries myself (that’s why I asked for more documention).

Fortunately, there are very helpful people here who also help with concrete requests , but some request stay unanswered.

In the meantime, I’m also collecting all kinds of practical queries and trying to learn from them.
