Simple query can do masks?

Questions & Help Queries

Hi folks.

I wonder if simple queries support searching my mask, like for example: “foo*” or better - by regexp of course. Is there sort of tilda match that enables masks/regexps usually?

Honestly I don’t observe any use cases for {{query [[text]] }} queries because they seem to search by full block content.

For such cases, instead of square brackets, you could use quotes:

  • {{query "foo"}} should return all blocks where foo is a substring.
    • Examples
      • my aunt plays football
      • foo or bar, what comes first
      • there is something weird afoot.

I would also be interested in knowing if there are options for more granularity here without going into advanced queries.

Really? I started with it, and it didn’t work out.

Let me try again

Odd, because I tried it before, and it didn’t bring appropriate results, but now it seems to really find things.

However, I actually need a “start with” thing. A mask. No way?
