md.obsidian.Obsidian VS obsidian-omnisearch

My Flatpak version was updated the same day. Very impressive.

I tried flatpak command line instructions as mentioned here but that too giving error

There are Linux solutions to this, macOS makes apps request permissions to important folders/ full disk access, any operating system should let you run something as a locked-down user without read/write access to your important files, etc. Installing Obsidian on Linux using flatpak or recent macOS + a firewall would let you manage a lot of the risks there, for example.

If you want simple markdown notes I recommend Paper, for to-do lists a good option is Endeavour, and there is third option, Obsidian, I don't use it because it feels complex, but maybe you will like it

Is that not this? https://flathub.org/apps/details/md.obsidian.Obsidian

It's probably best to open an issue here to ask what's going on if you're interested: https://github.com/flathub/md.obsidian.Obsidian/issues

You can check in github repo how a flatpak package is done. Here is how Obsidian is done. If you don't like any permission, you change it through flatseal app or command line. Most gnome apps and apps that follows gnome HIG are maintained by the official developers themselves. Valve, Mozilla are maintaining their respective products.

Mobile Document Scanning using QuickScan iOS app and OCR search with Omnisearch and Text Extractor: I was a power user of the Scannable app by Evernote for capturing scans of receipts and documents, so moving on from this was going to be tough. But QuickScan has the same functionality (OCR scanning) and has quick outputs to where my scans are stored in my Obsidian folder. Using Omnisearch, searching my scans feels just as intuitive and snappy as what Evernote used to feel like for me.

In the past I have used Omnisearch which I have found to be an improvement.

Combine this with my favorite Obsidian search plugin Omnisearch and you end up making this bunch of random chat threads useful - now I can link and tag across, and source them for new ideas.

The Omnisearch plugin might be what you need. No AI but weighted results depending on where your query words are found (filename, titles, frequency...). It works well for me, it's my primary way to find notes.

The tag system works well for GTD workflows and organization in general. Default search isn't the best but the Omnisearch plugin fixes that.

Also - and speaking about plugins in general - the best way to get an issue resolved is to ask it on the GitHub page. If the plugin is maintained, its developer will usually gladly help you solve your problem :) https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch/issues

I think Obsidian Omnisearch can help you with that.

The Omnisearch plug-in for Obsidian does search in PDFs and images via OCR.

In my opinion it is absolutely possible. The developer of the Omnisearch plugin now works on PDF indexing - https://github.com/scambier/obsidian-omnisearch/releases/tag/1.6.5-beta.3.
