This is a huge shortcoming. In these days of hashtags, it makes no sense to deny users the ability to add them in the body/title of notes and search on them globally. Seems entirely perverse! - especially when you can search on these things inside a specific note.
If this is a note-taking and productivity app, which it purports to be, then we should be able to do what we can do easily the alternatives - in a word doc or an email.
This shortcoming means I can't search for //todo, or #this_thing or anything else useful that's not just a 'word'. Really short sighted and outdated.
Please fix this! Even if you were to add just the characters '/', '<', '!', '?', '-', '*', '.' and '#' to the 26 alpha characters it would be enough to massively increase useability, because I could then search for things like...
<!-- (html comment)
<?php (php snippet)
<script (javascript snippet)
// comment (code comment)
//todo (todo, obviously)
# comment (code comment)
/* comment (code comment)
#tag (hashtag)
#id (CSS id)
.class (CSS class)
etc...
See what I mean?
Pretty please?
Many thanks.
