why is the search in obsidian so bad? it seems to be getting worse (in particular: inconsistent and incomplete indexing)

not-knowing ✹ 🍕-fan ✹ productive discomfort + idk ✹ Marseille / Singapore / Auvergne ✹ The Uncertainty Mindset (2020) ✹ now: vaughntan.org/now-ish

do you have more details or have a reproducible case I can try?

making /obsidian • writing stephango.com

yep just checked and it was not match case was not activated

i installed omnisearch and it is indexing now — maybe this will solve? will report

Not sure — I am not able to reproduce your issue. In my vault with 14k+ files the scenario you describe works fine.

You might want to open a bug report on the forum or search to see if anyone has the same issue

i'm going to try and reinstall and force a reindexing and see if that does anything

is there a way reindex without doing a reinstall? i'm on obsidian v 1.5.12, macos 14.2.1
