Fuzzy-search the cards and files on a canvas and jump straight to the match.
Why this one
- Searches what is on the cards. Text cards, the notes behind file cards, link URLs and group names.
- Jumps and zooms. Pick a result and the canvas selects that card and centres on it.
- Tolerates typos and initials in short titles ("archve" finds "Archive"), without matching random letters inside long notes.
- One canvas or all of them. Search the open canvas, or every canvas in the vault and open the right one.
Usage
Open a canvas and run Find in this canvas from the command palette (assign a hotkey in Settings → Hotkeys to make it instant). Type a few words: every word has to match. Use the arrow keys and Enter to jump to the card.
Find in all canvases searches every .canvas file in the vault; each result also shows which canvas it is on.
File cards are searched by the text of the note they point to (the first 20,000 characters), so you can find a card by something written inside it.
No settings: it only reads your canvases and never changes them.
Installation
In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins → Browse and search for "Canvas Finder".
