Use case
When I’m in a document, I might want to save a few frequently used searches for quick access in the future. The current option is to execute that search, and copy the entire URL.
Proposed solution
Have a special link format that will do the above. Some syntax along the lines of [Search name](search://parent:#todo -is:completed)
. This link will search for everything after search://
, but only in the current document. This makes this search more portable and you don’t need to replace the hardcode document link.
An alternative solution might be to have search histories, but the limitation is that due to the screen space limit, only the 10-15 most recent searches can be accessed conveniently. The link syntax might be more flexible. Related feature request: Feature Request: Search History
P.S. This idea is not my own! I think I’ve heard it before, either in one of the email support tickets or on the forum. I’m curious to see how many people are interested in this.
