Omnisearch for Obsidian

This plugin is in an early beta state. It's usable, but things may break, features are missing, configuration is non-existent, etc.

If you experience what you consider to be bug or performance problem, please open an issue.


Omnisearch aims to provide a fast, unobtrusive, and "intelligent" search interface for Obsidian. Under the hood, it uses the excellent MiniSearch library.

Installation

Omnisearch is not yet available on the official community plugins repository.

Features

  • Automatic document scoring using the BM25 algorithm.
    • Your notes are split into different fields (filename, title, body) that are weighted differently to sort the results.
  • Get results as you type
  • Highlight matching query terms
  • Fuzzy/partial search, resistance to typos

Motivation

Obsidian works best with a well-organized vault, but most of my notes are unrelated tidbits of knowledge and code snippets, without tags, links, of even folders.

Since I like to favor "search over organization", I wanted to make a search interface that would be useful for me.
