Filter

Click the Filter toolbar icon to open the Filter panel - a list of named, reusable filters you create yourself. With none enabled, every note shows; enabling one or more hides every note that doesn't match.

Creating a filter

Click "+ new filter" to add one, then click its pencil icon to edit it. Give it a name, then click "+ add" to add criteria to it:

  • Text - the note's title or body contains a word or phrase.
  • Tag
  • Property - a frontmatter value, compared with contains/equals/does not equal/is empty/is not empty.
  • Folder - includes subfolders.
  • Filename
  • Not edited at least (days)
  • Activity - whether the note sits in an active or inactive neighborhood of the vault (based on how recently tightly-linked notes around it were edited overall).
  • Minimum number of links

A note matches a filter only if it satisfies every criterion in that filter.

Include or exclude

Most criteria show one small, clickable word right in their own controls - e.g. "Folder is" / "Folder is not", "Filename contains" / "does not contain", "At least" / "less than" this many days. Click the word to flip a criterion from including matches to excluding them, and back.

Several filters at once

Enable more than one filter, and a note shows if it matches at least one of them by default - "Show if it matches: At least one filter", a dropdown above the filter list. Switch it to "Every filter" to require a note to satisfy all of the enabled filters instead (effectively AND-ing separate filters together).

Drag a filter's handle to reorder the list - purely for your own organization, since it has no effect on which notes are shown.

When nothing matches

If an enabled filter (or combination) matches no notes, the graph shows a card explaining that, with a "Reset filter" button to disable every filter in one click.
