Search Improvements: Partial-Match, case insensitive

Robert Bianchi

Search needs work. Please allow partial-matches, stemming, lemmatization. Also, remove case-sensitivity. Thanks
Examples:
Searching for something with "September" in the title... "Sep", "Sept" show nothing. Only a full match (case-sensitive) works.
Searching for an item with "Jacob's" in title... "Jac" or even "Jacob" yield no results.

Have to agree here - this is ridiculous. Search is basic and just needs to work.

I just searched the exact terms "Advisory" and "shares" for a task literally titled "Advisory shares". It did not come up. I had to manually sift through all my tasks to find it. This is silly. Search just does not work.

Yeah, what the heck is the deal with search being case-sensitive?! It's... pretty useless that way! Is that a technical limitation? I can't imagine it's that way by design.

The current search is horrible, you wont find any task, if you don't know the exact title. We need a search just like the Obsidian Plugin "Omnisearch" offers, maybe you could use this as an inspiration. This would be an incredible improvement.

If a task name is "buy TESLA" and you search "tesla," the task won't come up in results. Please make search support variations of the task name! It requires an exact match right now

Even substring matches could be a big improvement. Something with stemming would be even better, but there's a lot to like about crawl -> walk -> run.
