Omnisearch is an Obsidian community plugin providing instant, relevance-weighted full-text search across notes, PDFs, Office documents, and images (via the Text Extractor companion plugin). It is built on MiniSearch with BM25 scoring, typo resistance, and keyboard-first workflows.
Use cases
- search all my obsidian notes instantly
- find text inside pdfs in my vault
- search scanned images with ocr
- quick switcher with better relevance ranking
- query my vault from outside obsidian via http
- search notes with typo tolerance
- filter search results by file type
When to choose
- you use Obsidian and find the built-in search too slow or imprecise
- you need to index PDFs, Office files, or images in your vault
- you want a keyboard-driven quick switcher with BM25 relevance scoring
When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian
- you need a server-side or multi-user search engine rather than a local plugin
- you need Chinese search without installing the additional cm-chs-patch plugin
