|
|
|
|
#### Query Filters
|
|
|
|
Use structured query syntax to filter the natural language search results
|
|
- **Word Filter**: Get entries that include/exclude a specified term
|
|
- Entries that contain term_to_include: `+"term_to_include"`
|
|
- Entries that contain term_to_exclude: `-"term_to_exclude"`
|
|
- **Date Filter**: Get entries containing dates in YYYY-MM-DD format from specified date (range)
|
|
- Entries from April 1st 1984: `dt:"1984-04-01"`
|
|
- Entries after March 31st 1984: `dt>="1984-04-01"`
|
|
- Entries before April 2nd 1984 : `dt<="1984-04-01"`
|
|
- **File Filter**: Get entries from a specified file
|
|
- Entries from incoming.org file: `file:"incoming.org"`
|
|
- Combined Example
|
|
- `what is the meaning of life? file:"1984.org" dt>="1984-01-01" dt<="1985-01-01" -"big" -"brother"`
|
|
- Adds all filters to the natural language query. It should return entries
|
|
- from the file *1984.org*
|
|
- containing dates from the year *1984*
|
|
- excluding words *"big"* and *"brother"*
|
|
- that best match the natural language query *"what is the meaning of life?"*
|
|

|
#### Description
|
|
|
|
1. Install Khoj via `pip` and start Khoj backend
|
|
```shell
|
|
python -m pip install khoj-assistant && khoj
|
|
```
|
|
2. Install Khoj plugin via Community Plugins settings pane on Obsidian app
|
|
- Check the new Khoj plugin settings
|
|
- Wait for Khoj backend to index markdown, PDF files in the current Vault
|
|
- Open Khoj plugin on Obsidian via Search button on Left Pane
|
|
- Search \"*Announce plugin to folks*\" in the [Obsidian Plugin docs](https://marcus.se.net/obsidian-plugin-docs/)
|
|
- Jump to the [search result](https://marcus.se.net/obsidian-plugin-docs/publishing/submit-your-plugin)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
- Open the Khoj plugin settings pane, to configure Khoj
|
|
- Toggle Enable/Disable Khoj, if setting changes have not applied
|
|
- Click *Update* button to force index to refresh, if results are failing or stale
|
|
|
|
## Current Limitations
|
|
- The plugin loads the index of only one vault at a time.<br/>
|
|
So notes across multiple vaults **cannot** be searched at the same time
