Hey,

Do you have any plans on implementing a different way of searching, more like a fuzzy search if you just start typing something? I have a note filename (not content!) with "no-go" for example and run a search for "no go" and didn't get any results back. Search for "no-go" did work fine. I just had forgotten about the exact naming of the file and scrolled through all my notes to find it.

 

Thanks

  Not sure what you mean by "if you just start typing something" -- the search works with leading partial words (e.g. "foo" will match a file that includes the word "football".

  
  Hyphens are considered intraword characters, but the next version also indexes the "sub-words" in a hyphenated word.  So "go" will match "no-go".

  I just updated to version 41 and the search works as you described, this is perfect! Thanks
