• "ho ge" matches only ho ge and does not match hoge.
• ho ge matches both ho ge and hoge.
• Use \" to search for literal quote characters.

Example: Suppose there are three files:

• hoge.md
• hoge
• mdhoge

The input hoge -md will suggest only hoge.

Additionally, you can specify a custom string as the exclude prefix using the Exclude prefix setting.

If the path of the active file is "/usr/local/vault/notes", the query "<cd> obsidian" will be interpreted as "/usr/local/vault/notes obsidian".

• Show all headers even after filtering to retain file structures in the brain
• Jump to the first hit suggestion automatically and move next/previous by Tab/Shift+Tab as default
• Queries enclosed in double quotes are searched as is
  • "ho ge" only matches ho ge not hoge
  • ho ge matches both ho ge and hoge
  • Use \" to search for literal quote characters

This feature requires ripgrep and set the executable command to "Ripgrep command" option.

It sorts results by modified time descending.

Note: If you want to search in real-time, please set the "Grep search delay milli-seconds" option to 1 or more.

You can enable automatic preview functionality in Grep search to see file contents without manually triggering preview:

• Auto preview: Automatically shows preview when selecting candidates in search results
• Auto preview delay: Configure the delay (0-1000ms) before auto preview is triggered when selection changes
• This feature provides seamless file browsing while searching through content

You can launch the Grep dialog directly from the main Quick Switcher with the current query carried over. This allows for seamless transition from file searching to content searching.

• Configure the hotkey for "launch grep" in the main dialog settings
• The current search query will be automatically transferred to the Grep dialog

• Input regards as a regex pattern
• Grep searches only markdown files as default. If you want to search for other extensions, please update the "Grep > Extensions" settings
• If you want to include file names in the search, enable the "Include file name in search" setting
• Space-separated terms are searched with AND logic (e.g., hello world finds content containing both "hello" and "world")

Detailed hotkeys customization is available for each dialog.

The new Backlink search enables displaying all occurrences in the same file and listing the corresponding lines' text.

The new Link search enables displaying all occurrences in the same file and listing the corresponding lines' text.

"In File search" allows you to search for a specific line within a file using a search keyword and displays it along with the surrounding lines.

You can show the backlinks about the suggestion in the dialog. (Default hotkey is Mod h)

It can show backlinks from not only existing notes but also phantom(not existing) notes.

You can navigate outgoing/backlinks without leaving the dialog by using the "show links", "show backlinks", "navigate forward", and "navigate back" commands.

You can preview the file without closing the dialog. (Default hotkey is Mod ,)

It shows a floating view that doesn't distract the contents. Additionally, it makes the editor state before opening the dialog after previewing files and closing the dialog.

The "Move file to another folder" command allows you to quickly move the current file to a different folder with enhanced sorting capabilities and smart search features.

• Fuzzy Search: Find folders even with partial or out-of-order characters (e.g., "proj" matches "Projects")
• Highlighted Matches: Search terms are highlighted in both folder names and directory paths
• Multiple Match Types: Supports prefix matching, substring matching, and fuzzy matching

^* When left empty, defaults to .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-another-quick-switcher/recently-used-folders.json

• Recently used folder tracking: The plugin remembers which folders you've used recently and prioritizes them
• Persistent history: Recently used folder history is stored in your vault and syncs across devices
• Configurable storage: Customize where the folder usage history is stored within your vault

In v13, we removed Link search from Preset search commands. Please see #275 for details about this decision. If you need the previous Link search functionality, you can add it to Search commands with the configuration shown in the image below.
