Example: you take a Note about your Friend's Birth Day. You can click on the Hash Tag button and attach this Hash Tag to this Note:
#johns39_bd. Later when you enter this Hash Tag, then this note will be Auto fetched as the first matching result.
Tip:
A Hash Tag must start with # sign, must not have any blank spaces, must contain Alphanumeric only, with Maximum length of 30 chars.
Set Matching Method
Via this option you can change the default "
Search as you type" method for finding matching notes to what
you are Typing, from the default Search engine method to the simple Exact word matching method.
Tip:
Of course you generally want to keep the search method for Search as you type to be the powerful Search engine method compared to
simple exact Word matching method. But on rare occasions when you want to find an Exact Match for what you are searching for, then you want to switch to this method.
Control Automatic matching
The default method for displaying the matching Notes to what you are Typing is on Automatic basis. That is as you are Typing, matching Notes will Auto display on the right panel under the "Matching Notes" section. Via this option you can turn Off Automatic matching and instead fetch matching Notes to what you have Typed, via Manual clicking on the Green "Fetch" button.
Tip:
Of course you generally want to keep the matching method to be the default Auto matching method. But on those occasions when the full meaning of what you are searching for is not conveyed in few letters but until many Words are typed, then you want to switch to this method.
NOTE:
- Of course, the Search as you Type AI based engine will not run when Typing your 1st note, since you will have Zero Notes at that point
- The real power and value of My-2nd-Brain will become clear to you once you have many Notes taken
