Saved search for tags

Hello fellow zettelnauts,

I use the ##tag method from Sasha to signify a root link or parent link attached to a note. When I search for ## I also get all the H2 sections.
So I changed all my ##links to @#links, is there a way to have a saved search with a joker like to catch every terms beginning with @# like @#$ or @#catchall?

To organize myself I use ttt to signify a note as a terrain in french, meaning field, for me they work not like hubs. And I have the feeling I would appreciate to have a saved search with ttt AND my root tags to get an idea of where my energy is going.

Thank you

    No, there's no wildcard or regular expressions, but when you search for @# you will get all matches anyway, no matter what comes before or after these characters. The wildcard is the default, so to speak.

    -- I originally wanted to suggest to try ## AND NOT "## " but that excludes all notes with a heading (note the space after the latter double hash). Guess that's a benefit of using a "this is an overview" ##ü2 marker for all structure notes I hadn't had in mind: disambiguation with "##" in front of headings :)

    You could invest some labour and search for "##a", "##b", etc.

    To how many notes did you asign a strong tag?

    There you go (no worries. Tried my hacking skillz and did it not by hand):

    "##a" and "##b" and "##c" and "##d" and "##e" and "##f" and "##g" and "##h" and "##i" and "##j" and "##k" and "##l" and "##m" and "##n" and "##o" and "##p" and "##q" and "##r" and "##s" and "##t" and "##u" and "##v" and "##w" and "##x" and "##y" and "##z" and

    Thank you very much, I used this technique, just changed AND to OR and it work as planned.
