I have a couple of questions / thoughts on the notes tool. There are a couple of things that are really causing issues for me.
1. I have notes that are anchored to lots of different verses. If I reference a verse in a note, I like the note to be anchored to that verse. However, I can't find a way to filter on say all the notes that are anchored to verses in I Timothy, for example. In my Genesis notebook, all notes are anchored to a verse in Genesis, then a lot of them are anchored to additonal verses as well. When I switch over to the filter sidebar with the Genesis notebook selected, the Bible Book filter only shows Genesis. After playing around, that filter only represents the first anchor on a note and not the rest of them, so how would I find every note that has an anchor to a verse in I Timothy?
2. Not all my tags are showing up on the filter sidebar and I cannot find a way to do a search for them. Right now, only tags with 17 or more hits show up in the filter sidebar and I haven't been able to find a way to search for the rest of the tags.
3. One last thing. When is notes going to be part of the search panel Everything search?
Thanks, Carla
- >Maybe a spreadsheet list view that shows all notes and tags similar to library would be helpful? Hmm. Maybe. The data seem more varied than resources, so it could at times be a strange experience. Notes don't have official titles anymore. Some notes don't have anchors. Others don't have content. They may or may not be in notebooks. They might not have tags. But it may still be valuable. We'll give it some thought.
- Phil, is it true that any word we input into a note becomes a searchable field? As with any database, I can search by a term or phrase with Boolean parameters and find it in my notes?
- Brett Miller, any word in the note contents is searchable review the search bar in the notes tool, but if you wish to use Boolean parameters, see Adams instructions in this post: https://faithlife.com/posts/1811482
