I agree with Jon. And, BTW: I had not thought about the usage scenario you (Jon) mentioned:
you can do exactly what you want as it now stands -- do a Find for "bookends" (or make a smart group that finds "bookends") in notes (or title, or all), then in the live search field (notecard search) type ...

I'm not sure I follow exactly how "Way #2" works.

Just to make sure I understand, are you saying that (under the "Way #2" scenario) if I type "bookends rocks" in the search field (and it's an "All" search), what would be returned is:
• All References with either "bookends, or "rocks"," or ...

This looks outstanding and sounds like it will be a very useful addition to an already great piece of software!

I like some of what "aechallu" says here: < https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3056&start=45#p13810 > But I agree with you that the kind of functionality he ...

Jon,
Thanks for starting a new thread for this specific issue. I agree with w.yaqoob. Showing just the notecards that meet the search criteria is a lot more useful than option 2. That, combined with the ability to command-click specific notecards that are returned by a search, would make it very ...

(and it's kind of clunky, no offense) Oh, no offense taken what so ever. I'm not a programmer, just a user. So, I'm quite sure the solutions I might come up with would not be as elegant as either what is possible or what you would produce. Thanks for thinking about all this. Blessings.

Would still ...

Let me make sure I understand:

So, in theory (and hopefully practice :-)) instead of having a group (Smart Stack), if I wanted to find all my Notecards in reference database tagged "D-Day," I would type "%D-Day". Then, in the middle pane I would see only the references in my database that contain ...

Okay, great (that both options are theoretically doable). Given that option 1 would be a step backward, however, let me ask this about option 2: If option 2 were implemented, would it be possible to add some kind of means to further refine a Smart Stack, like maybe a check box as a part of each ...

It makes a lot of sense. What I'm having a problem with is visualizing what you'd want to happen when you searched for notecards containing "D-Day". You don't want the references returned, it seems (which is what normal searches do). You want a list of notecards (where, a separate window?). Of ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know how to do one of those fancy mock-ups like I see other users doing (yes, I'm jealous). So, I'll try to explain a little more clearly.

Imagine I have 5 individual references. Each of those references has 10 notes and quotes that I have collected as individual ...

Jon,
I want to ask if a certain feature you've mentioned in this thread will accomplish something I think would make the Notecards even more useful than they already are; that is, the ability to create "Stacks" of select Notecards.

First, here's a little bit of an exchange you have had with another ...

Any thought of having tabbed windows?

Hi,
I was going to make a feature request for "Global Spell Checking," but then noticed this had been requested once before. So, I thought I would just bump this current thread.

Jon, has any more thought been given to this feature? I know for me, it's a real pain to have to work back through long ...

Thanks!

Thanks, Jon.
I'm still using 10.4 (Tiger). That said, I can't find the Preview functionality you mentioned--I suspect it's in an upgraded version from the one I have. Hmmm . . . could be a reason to upgrade . . . say, don't you get the latest OS when you purchase a new Mac? Hmmmm . . . :D

If I do ...

i know (and i really like how you implemented the note stream - thank you!!! ) - but i actually copy the text in the pdf and have a keyboard short cut which when activated in the note stream pastes the copied text, adds quotation marks, adds @ and places the cursor after the @ so i can add the page ...
