Add post-Search Filter to results view

[MSzturc]

I have a Tasklist with a couple of hundred tasks. I search a specific Task and i know and I know the title of the task roughly. Today i scroll through the tasklist or use the obsidian search function to find it in the task in the list.

I would like to have a search function that reduces the result of task query by a string match.

Do you mean something like

The documentation for the wide variety of search filters is linked from this bit of the docs:

No not really, it could solve my problem, but therefore i had to edit the tasks markup itself, what i want to avoid. What im looking for is a textfield where i could input a search string as part of the task result list, where i can reduce the result even more.

Something that you do in many business related apps, where you do a rest request with a query filter to get the data and have a filter text field that reduces the data by client side filtering.

Something like this:

Ah right, I think I understand what you mean now. Thank you for the suggestion.

@ilandikov and I started experimental work on an implementation of this today.

So I've created a Feature Request issue for this, so we can track its progress, as :

• Add post-Search Filter to results view #3693

Any further discussion should go there.
