Add board filtering

[mgmeyers]

@justindirose A search box has been implemented! In the future I'll add tag autocomplete to the search box, and possibly other enhancements to make filtering cards easier.

Since the search function adds .is-search-miss & .is-search-hit classes to the cards, you can implement some rudimentary board filtering with CSS snippets.
I use the following:

.kanban-plugin__item-wrapper {
  /* originally 4px, moved to child element to ensure hidden cards don't retain their margins */
  margin-top: 0px !important;

  .kanban-plugin__item {
    margin-top: 4px;

    &.is-search-miss {
      /* Hide cards that don't include the search terms */
      display: none;
    }

    &.is-search-hit {
      /* No longer relevant as the hits are the only cards shown */
      box-shadow: none;
    }
  }
}

Thank you Mg Meyer the search box is awesome.

I have a big kanban board and it would be great if you can add an option to toggle between searches and show the card related to search .

Like when we search in a pdf .it show there are 3 searches and when we click the arrow it show each search result .

Thank you

@alextroop Ah, that's a bug. Tags should definitely be searchable! I'll fix this in the next few days

I just updated to 0.3.10, but I'm having difficulty finding the search box. Where should I be seeing it?

EDIT: I discovered it -- CMD/CTRL+F -- very nice!

I like how the search highlights the card. This might be nice to filter the board so cards that aren't matched are hidden. I'll have to play with it to see.

Yeah, definitely let me know how it feels for you. There are some technical annoyances with completely hiding cards. I would have to disable drag & drop to get that to work, but it is an option

Thank you for your work and for adding searching, using tags and search is what made it replace Trello labels for me.

I am a little confused about the implementation of tags though -- if I use a tag and display it in the card then it is searchable; if I hide it in the card title but show it under the card (as your formal tag display) then it isn't searchable. Or am I missing something about how to use the tags?

Would it be possible for search to also search Metadata fields? Right now the search only searches for the field name, but ignores field values.

I think the ability to hide cards would be very valuable.

I also upvote this. I would really like to be able to filter the board with just a tag to have a clean view

I have submitted a pull request which adds a setting allowing you to search the kanban board when clicking a tag (instead of searching the Obsidian vault): #875
