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

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

making /obsidian • writing stephango.com

the easiest issue to describe is:
- there is a note, filename "purplecowsrule.md"
- a search (general, not filename or path) for "purple" does not return a result that includes this note
- the results list also omits some (but not all) other files where "purple" is in the file body text but not the filename

are you sure you haven't turned on "match case"? (the Aa button)
