    I’m using it daily but would be open to alternatives (markdown notes that can be synchronised locally between desktop and mobile) since their search (even after recently finding out that Ctrl-P is miles better) is just a desaster.

      Vimwiki + Syncthing. You can deafult your vimwiki to create markdown files… This only works if you use vim/neovim as your text editor.

      Thanks for the tip about Ctrl-P.

      As for the normal search box, I’ve found that adding wildcard character helps.

      e.g. searching for “some” does not include notes with the word “something”, but “some*” would.

      Would be interested in more detailed followup about the search. Anything in particular stands out?

        What I’d want is to do Ctrl-F anywhere to search everything, then get a list of results, click on an entry and get to the line in the note where the searched phrase is, having it highlighted.

        Instead you have to click on “All notebooks” on the top left, search, which returns all the notes that have the phrase, click on one of them, search again and hope that it was the correct notebook or try the next one

        Ctrl-P does what I want but it’s not highlighting the result which is just a minor inconvenience.

        Yeah, tried that a few days ago and gave up on it after trying change the date format to something that wasn’t in their (horribly designed UX wise) options which basically mangled the whole thing. It sounds like a really cool system but I think I’ll wait a few years.
