You can search notes by frontmatter metadata using the search_notes tool with metadata_filters. This allows you to locate notes based on structured YAML fields rather than relying solely on free-text content searches.

Yes, filtering notes by frontmatter supports equality, range comparisons, array containment, and nested field access via dot notation. This enables precise queries like finding high priority notes with confidence scores above 0.7.

The best way to find notes with a specific status is using metadata_filters with an equality condition on the status field. For example, you can quickly locate all notes marked as in-progress by querying that custom YAML key.

No, you do not need predefined schemas to query custom YAML keys. The metadata search handles custom YAML frontmatter keys automatically, allowing flexible querying across any structured fields defined in your notes.

Yes, frontmatter metadata search works with array containment checks. You can filter notes by checking if a specific value exists within an array field defined in the YAML frontmatter.

Metadata filtering is used instead of full-text search when you need to efficiently locate notes based on structured frontmatter fields. It provides precise filtering by custom fields, which is more accurate than relying on content keywords.
