search results

when i search, i get a list of entries that contain that word, but no location information

is there any way to learn in what folder that entry is located (in mori, not in the finder), so that i can go to it directly the next time rather than always having to search it? obviously i have enough folders that i can't find the entry by scrolling down. actually i'm not even sure in what notebook the found entry is located. does mori search only a single notebook or all?

i am using 1.4 (71), the paid version.

Spotlight And Search in Mori 1.4 (and Later)

Submitted by Alfonso Guerra on Tue, 2008-06-24 07:01.

Since search within a particular Mori notebook will only look for entries within that notebook, I'm going to take it for granted that you're referring to search using Spotlight. Unfortunately, Spotlight doesn't give program authors the ability to describe an entry's location in detail, and even the current version of Mori (why aren't you at least on 1.6.7?) uses some tricks to incorporate the titles of matching entries in Finder's display of search results.

Mori incorporates into the Spotlight database any notebook that was saved after the "Allow entries to be found by Spotlight" option is checked.

search

thanks for responding. my question remains unanswered.

i believe i explicitly asked "does mori search only a single notebook or all?" so, no, i was not referring to a search using spotlight. i do not want a search result that contains 172 items from all over my computer. i am looking for an item within mori, so i search within mori.

no, i did not know that a search in mori would only look for entries within that notebook. that's why i respectfully asked whether a (mori) search would look within all notebooks or just a single notebook. now i know.

my question is whether there is any way to conduct a mori search - not a spotlight search - so that folder information, as well as the item information, shows in the result.

i am not on a higher version of mori because a) i am happy with 1.4, b) i have not had need for more features and c) users on the forum complain that newer versions have bugs and that their complaints sometimes do not produce action. i enjoy - even depend on mori - and cannot take any chance of losing access to my data

No Multi-Document Search Currently Within Mori

While "does mori search only a single notebook or all?" wasn't part of your original posting, it is a great idea; especially since we get very little detail from Spotlight & Finder, as you've already pointed out.

I searched the feature request list and didn't find a similar idea, so if you'd do me a favor and copy and paste this post of yours I'm specifically replying to, I'll work at incorporating it into an upcoming release.

note footer

Submitted by Alastor933 on Tue, 2008-06-24 12:24.

Turn on note footers: View>Layout>Show Note Footer View.

You'll get something like the status bar in Safari at the bottom of the window.
Select something in the entries view, and you'll see its "path" in the note footer.
You can click any container in that path, and go there.
But I do not know if 1.4 has note footers...
