Details

• Divided into Two Parts: The first part is the Filter, where you can set query logic. The second part displays the query results, including a further filtering bar, a side list displaying the results, and a view showing the selected results.

• In the First Part, there are various query logic chains:

  • You can choose Content, representing the content of Pages and Blocks. After selecting it, you can choose further operations. For example, if I choose "contains" and input "roam," it means I want to query all pages and blocks with content containing "roam."
    • The meaning of each option:
      • contains: includes
      • does not contain: does not include
      • regex: supports Regex operations with built-in options
      • equals to: content equals the title or block
      • does not equal to: not (equals to)
      • is empty: find blocks with empty content
      • is not empty: find blocks or pages with non-empty content
  • Page ref and Block ref have the same meaning for operation options.
    • Hierarchical search: Indicates a hierarchical relationship between the target and filtering conditions.
      • under any of: the target block has children blocks containing page ref or block ref
      • not under any of: the target block is not under related page ref or block ref's children blocks
    • Inline search: Indicates conditions apply on the same block.
      • contains any of: contains 1 or more refs
      • contains: contains all refs
      • does not contain: does not contain listed refs; the block may have other refs
      • is empty: block or page without refs
      • is not empty: block or page with refs
  • Created time and Edited time represent the creation and modification time of pages and blocks.
    • equals to: within a specific time frame, with a minimum unit of a day
    • does not equal to: not within a specific time frame
    • greater than: after that time point
    • not less than: not earlier than that time point
    • less than: before that time point
    • not greater than: not later than that time point
  • Every time an input box loses focus or "enter" is pressed during input, an immediate query can be performed.

• In the Second Part,

  • Two means are provided to further filter the query results:
    • Filter input
      • Supports fuzzy search
        • Generally speaking, fuzzy searching, more formally known as approximate string matching, is the technique of finding strings that are approximately equal to a given pattern.
    • Page or block selection
  • Result view
    • Side menu
      • Displays all results that meet the conditions.

      • Allows direct editing of selected results.
