v1.10.0: Saved Searches, Title Z–A Sort, Tag Pollution Fix & UI Polish

[BobWs]

Four updates in this release – one major new feature, one useful enhancement, one fixed and one UI polish.

New: Saved Searches

Stop typing the same search queries over and over. Save them, name them, and access them with one click from the sidebar.

How to get started:

1. Go to Settings → Searches (new tab!)
2. Click "Add search" – give it a name and a query (e.g., tags:work)
3. Toggle "Show saved searches in sidebar" in Settings → Preferences
4. Your saved searches appear in a collapsible section below your folders in the sidebar

You can also:

• Drag and drop to reorder your saved searches (Settings → Searches)
• Edit or delete any saved search
• Run a search directly from the Settings page

---

New Sort: Title Z–A

You can now sort notes by title in descending order (Z to A). This is available everywhere:

• Search results toolbar
• Default note sort (Settings → Preferences)
• Saved searches (when creating or editing)

UI Polish: NavBar spacing reduced

The bottom margin of the navigation bar has been reduced from 48px to 8px – reclaiming 40px of vertical space. The app feels more compact and content-focused.

Note: If you preferred the original spacing, please let me know in this discussion. I can roll this back while exploring alternative approaches for users who want a more compact layout.

Fixed: Tag Pollution

Technical notes with hex colors, port numbers, and config comments no longer pollute your tag sidebar.

What changed:

• Tags must start with an alphabetical character – no more #125d0d, #14496, or #07072026 as tags
• Code-block stripping now handles single and triple backticks separately – code comments stay inside code blocks

Result: Your tag sidebar is cleaner and only shows real tags.

Note: Numbered tags (#456789) are no longer supported. If you rely on them, please let me know and I can add an option.
