FAQPage Schema
How do I search an Obsidian wiki and get answers with citations?▼

To search an Obsidian wiki with citations, you query the compiled knowledge base. The system returns concise, sourced results by matching your question against cross-referenced pages and frontmatter metadata.

What's the best way to retrieve specific sections from a large knowledge base?▼

Retrieving specific sections from a knowledge base is done using section reads. This mode balances speed and depth by fetching targeted parts of a page rather than loading the entire file.

Can I filter wiki search results using frontmatter metadata?▼

You can filter wiki search results using frontmatter metadata. The system performs an index-wide search that applies visibility filtering based on your page frontmatter and configuration settings.

How does cross-page context synthesis work for connected notes?▼

Cross-page context synthesis works by analyzing topic relationships across multiple wiki pages. It combines information from connected notes to generate a deeper, unified understanding of your query.

When should I use index-only retrieval instead of full-page reads?▼

Use index-only retrieval instead of full-page reads when you need fast answers. Index-only searches surface relevant pages quickly using metadata, while full-page reads provide maximum depth for complex queries.

Does wiki knowledge retrieval support configurable QMD integration?▼

Wiki knowledge retrieval supports configurable QMD integration. This feature allows citation-aware synthesis, enabling the system to compile and format sourced answers according to your specific configuration.
