Search an entry with multiple keywords

mee

I would like to have the ability to search for an entry using multiple keywords. Right now, we can only search with 1 keyword or keywords following the same structure in an entry. It would be great to be able to search for an entry that contain "keyword 1 + keyword 2" or "keyword 1 or keyword 2". I decided to go digital instead of physical so that I could easily find previous entries, but the searching feature is limited by this.

Diarium version: 2.9.12
Operating system: Android

Can you give a short example / use case in which one might search for two keywords but is actually interested in either one?
Generally, search engines search for results that contain all query keywords

It could be, for example, if you want to see all the entries that contain breakfast or diner or supper. It would be useful to see them all rather that searching each of them individually.

Just allowing multiple keywords searching would already be a great addition though.

I was using another diary app for years, but been recently hunting for one that has this feature. Since, I am starting to have a lot of entries, it's a bit difficult to quickly search for past ones. I stumbled on yours that I do like a lot in many aspects, but is still missing this feature.

Ok will consider this, but (as with all feature requests) can't make any promises.

Of course, I understand that. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply 🙂

It would be really neat to be able to search for multiple keywords. Search for something like Subject%keyword would work ... searching for items that have Subject AND keyword.
