org-capture-extension VS consult-notes

org-capture is a browser extension in which you can select part of a website and add it to a org file entry.

org-capture : define templates to fill org files. I use it for todo lists, health journaling , ideas, etc. If I'm in a file and want to add a region of text to my todo list I just select the region press C-c c t give it a title, a deadline and it's done. Same for something I'm reading in firefox and want to save to the idea file (its need an extension)

Is there something wrong with org-capture extension? It does exactly what you say.

I would like to be able to use the extension ; https://github.com/sprig/org-capture-extension but I don't think it's possible, I like having the ability to select text and capture it directly in emacs.

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:
