How can I search for notes using the built-in search plugin, which supports regex, to search for notes that have no entry in specific keys within the frontmatter?
I am using templater and thus am using my frontmatter looks like this:
aliases:
publish: false
tag:
date:: [[2023-07-11 Tue]]
parent:: [[XYZ]]
Searching for "parent:: " works fine, but I want to find notes that do not have a parent note yet. For this I tried parent:: /$ as indicated here and here, but this and other variations like parent:: /\$/ do not yield any results.
Where am i going wrong?
I don’t think the built-in search has this capability, but you can try this dataview query:
Works like a charm! I didn’t know that I could query not just from tags but from any YAML key. Thank you!
