Currently changing a name of a page will update the links of that page, but not queries it is used in. All queries using a renamed title will break.
Would be great to update the pages name in queries as well, in addition to updating it in links.
I see this too - I’d consider it a bug.

Great, thanks. I liked it to upvote it.
On my side, this behaviour still occurs, but your bug report has been closed on github.

It’s a bit annoying, as something as simple as changing the name of a page has the unintended effect of breaking queries, and without you noticing it.
Hmm sometimes I want to change the page name so it wouldn’t show up in a query.
Eg in a file system, when I change the file name because I named it wrong, I don’t want a search of the old file name to still appear. Would be really confusing.
We may mean different things. I don’t mean pages not showing up in the results of queries. But about queries themselves breaking.
Example: Say I tagged book entries with $Book and have various queries that use this, e.g. to query for books from a certain author or topic. Now I want to change the page $Book to #Books for some reason. As a result, all queries that used the old tag [$Book] will break.
But just as the (bi-directional) links are updated, so should queries be updated with a name change. How else could the queries keep working ?
