一些背景信息 | Some background information

可以在设置中选择显示的类型 | And type filters when searching in the setting

但是我确实同意应该在搜索中提供类型过滤的快捷键，但是不是使用不同的起手符号来区别(为了兼容不同软件之间共同的快捷键)，个人更喜欢使用关键字/符号来开启类型过滤

But I do agree that need some quick filters in the search function, but instead of using different start symbols (Compatible with commonly used shortcuts from other note software), personally prefer using keywords or symbols to filter tyes.

E.g.:

(( text text :h3 来过滤三级标题

(( text text :h3 to filter types of heading 3

Thank you for correcting my suggestion and sharing the information.

Your filtering option is only convenient if the person writes in English.

I write in another language. This means that, for example, in order to start looking for reference links only among notes (and not blocks), I have to switch to English first, enter this letter, then switch back to my language and already write in it what I'm looking for.

Add to this that we also enter a number of characters in addition to this letter: "((:"

It turns out a bit complicated construction, and not at all inconvenient for those who write in languages other than English.

Your version can be used if to create in the settings the possibility for each user to assign its own symbol in its own language for each type of information.

My version is not as accurate, but very easy to type.

Also, in my case I usually don't remember what type of block I need when specifying a reference (list, paragraph, quote, etc.), but I usually always remember whether it's a block or a page.

So in my opinion this is a more important, simple and global distinction than between block types. And the "((" and "[[" characters would be perfect for this.

Perhaps the developers will come up with some of their own more effective option.

For a long time, [[ actually existed only as a more convenient key (without pressing Shift), the reason why we did not consider filtering only document blocks is that we want to keep all blocks on an equal footing, This design can achieve better consistency.

But in terms of actual use, as you mentioned above, it is possible to reference document blocks in most usage scenarios, so it should be more sensible to give up some design consistency for better convenience, thanks for your proposal.

Just on the use of [[ as a more conveient key than (( . I think this is pretty dependent from the keyboard layout. E.g., in Czech, [[ is more difficult to type than ((, because the former requires AltGr key, while the latter only shift key.

This is just a reminder how relative is what is easy to type :).

@HowcanoeWang It is actually not easy to search for overly detailed types, such as the h3 filter you mentioned. In fact, before searching, we have a high probability of not knowing whether we can hit on this detailed type.

Any use examples or illustrations for this updates? feels no difference between (( and [[ in the latest version

@HowcanoeWang [[ just search for doc blocks, (( search for all types of blocks.

As Chinese user, siyuan can handle both EN : and CN ： at the same time, and no need to switch input lang for the symbol. And for most Chinese input, hitting shift will switch to EN mode very conveniently, could you give more explanation for your lang input?

And another alternative option is using tab as the block type filter rather than : symbol (but may conflict with #7995 )
