Orgzly-android: Allow narrowing down saved search results via gui

Created on 17 Nov 2017  路  2Comments  路  Source: orgzly/orgzly-android

As someone who constantly battles todo overload, I would like to be able to start with a generic search (like "Todo for Today") and narrow it down by notebook or by tag or by both. Currently this is possible but I have to manually edit the search string which is laborious.

I think this could be done by the following methods at least (these are not mutually exclusive):
a) allowing search filter combinations (I could select multiple searches consecutively and each would narrow down the results)
b) providing a picker on the search result page for notebooks and tags
c) providing a way to select a saved search while viewing a notebook, which would focus the search on the notebook only. The would just provide for the notebooks though, not tags.

That sounds great!
BTW I just discovered Orgzly a few days ago and LOVE it - it is very close to my personal organization holy grail. So many things done exactly right.

A single dialog for searching is planned. It would allow (a) and (b). As for (c), it could also have things like "populate from saved search" and "add current notebook".

That sounds great!
