consult-notes VS deft

I just started using Denote and love it. The feature that won me over was that it was file type agnostic. If you do give it a try don't give up without trying it with consult-notes.

You might try my consult-notes package, which enables searching across notes, including all nodes in your org-roam db. For the settings called by the function see here, and for the search function itself see here.

I love this package. Thanks for all you contribute to Emacs! While I think this should OOTB with consult-notes please let me know if there is any further functionality I could add that would be helpful.

I don't know if you use consult, but you might find https://github.com/mclear-tools/consult-notes useful for searching through roam nodes (both headlines and text). I welcome any feedback you might have.

For searching and creating notes files you might look at my https://github.com/mclear-tools/consult-notes package, which also works with org-roam. If you do use org-roam you should check out their Templating system for note capture/creation: https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html#The-Templating-System. Of course, org capture is very powerful and can be used whether or not you use org-roam.

In terms of searching through notes you might take a look at a package I'm developing that uses consult to navigate through directories of files (you can set any directory, and multiple directories) as well as org-roam nodes -- it's called (not very creatively) consult-notes. Feedback is welcome.

I use consult-notes, which is derived from this consult wiki-entry. it sorts notes by recency. Of course, this assumes that you use consult. I also second the other suggestion to use ripgrep. Here's the function I use:

If, like me, OP is a little slap-dash, happy-go-lucky, can't-decide-what-to-use, lazy, or uncoordinated, https://github.com/jrblevin/deft is a pretty handy package.

For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

Check out Deft.

Take a look at Deft, this is what I use.

I like deft for this.

Honestly I've been in the same boat as you for ages and have even tried writing my own zettelkasten packages here and there on top of things like deft (I started with zetteldeft, which shows).

Is there an easy way to move a ton of org files into org-roam? I've used just a flat directory of org files that I've searched with the excellent Deft package for years, and I'd like to give org-roam a whirl. Is there an easy way to import all those notes in bulk? (Don't all notes need an ID?)

‘Course, there’s an Emacs command to do that: Deft mode.
