#### Preset search commands
Recent search
File name search
File name fuzzy search
Landmark search
Star search
Link search
2 hop link search
#### Note
##### Queries enclosed in double quotes are searched as is
- `"ho ge"` matches only `ho ge` and does not match `hoge`.
- `ho ge` matches both `ho ge` and `hoge`.
##### A minus sign at the beginning excludes matched candidates
Example: Suppose there are three files:
- `hoge.md`
- `hoge`
- `mdhoge`
The input `hoge -md` will suggest only `hoge`.
Additionally, you can specify a custom string as the exclude prefix using the `Exclude prefix` setting.
##### `` means the current directory
If the path of the active file is "/usr/local/vault/notes", the query "`` obsidian" will be interpreted as "/usr/local/vault/notes obsidian".
### 2. Header floating search in file / Header search in file
- Show all headers even after filtering to retain file structures in the brain
- Jump to the first hit suggestion automatically and move next/previous by `Tab/Shift+Tab` as default
- Queries enclosed in double quotes are searched as is
- `"ho ge"` only matches `ho ge` not `hoge`
- `ho ge` matches both `ho ge` and `hoge`
### 3. Grep
This feature requires [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) and set the executable command to "Ripgrep command" option.
It sorts results by modified time descending.
#### Default hotkeys
- `TAB`: Search (not realtime)
- `Ctrl+,`: preview
#### Note
- Input regards as a regex pattern
- Grep searches only markdown files as default. If you want to search for other extensions, please update the "Grep > Extensions" settings

## Appendix
### What is the "2-hop-link"?
[2-hop-link] are outgoing links in the current file, and files that have outgoing links to them.
For example, If there are relations as follows,
```mermaid
flowchart LR
D[Dog] --> A[Animal]
C[Cat] --> A
O[Owl] --> A
```
[2-hop-link] from the "Dog" is as follows.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
D[Dog]:::focus --> A[Animal]
D[Dog]:::focus --> C[Cat]
D[Dog]:::focus --> O[Owl]
classDef focus fill:#f96
```
More complicated example.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Dog:::focus --> Animal
Dog --> Masaru
Zagitova --> Masaru
Masaru --> Akita-inu
Cat --> Animal
Owl --> Animal
Tama --> Cat
Mike --> Cat
Animal --> Zoo
Zoo --> Animal
Mahjong --> Zoo
Animal --> Coffee
classDef focus fill:#f96
```
[2-hop-link] from the "Dog" is as follows.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Dog:::focus --> Animal:::focus
Dog --> Masaru:::focus
Zagitova:::focus --> Masaru
Masaru --> Akita-inu
Cat:::focus --> Animal
Owl:::focus --> Animal
Tama --> Cat
Mike --> Cat
Animal --> Zoo
Zoo:::focus --> Animal
Mahjong --> Zoo
Animal --> Coffee
classDef focus fill:#f96
