Howdy Panda!
One feature I would like to see is saves searches. Since tags are so powerful, connecting tags together happens in Search as it does now, but saving searches would allow for a retained use of certain combinations.
For example:
- I have notes with
#travel, #Colorado, #Texas, #Washington.
- I would like a saved search to always populate the search
#travel #Washington which would then pull up those notes which contain both of those tags.
- I currently use
#travel/Washington but I want to link #Washington to other ideas besides #travel. These could be #restaurants, #parks, #family.
I hope this makes sense and also realize that this may take away from the simplicity of Bear, but thought I’d send it anyway. Thank you for reading!

I second this request for saved searches. I would love for a very robust search functionality in Bear, that would also help find the text easily within the notes, without having to search again.

Hi there @Arbalest and @ces3001
Regarding saved searches, at the moment we don’t support this feature in Bear.
However, a workaround for this you can use in Bear is to store your searches in notes as XURL’s.
You can use the URL builder to generate the XURL here /search | X-Callback-URL API Actions Builder | Bear App
You can also display Bear notes via widgets. Therefore, you could display a master note that contains XURL search links.
More info on widgets here: How to use widgets with Bear | FAQ & Support | Bear App and here: Bear gets new widgets and ready for Big Sur There is a widget specifically for search.
Hoping this helps!
