What is glyph-sO?

glyph-sO is an Obsidian community plugin for full-text search across your vault. Unlike Obsidian’s built-in quick switcher (Ctrl+O), which matches file names only, glyph-sO indexes note content and ranks results with contextual snippets — so you can find ideas buried inside paragraphs.

The plugin is part of the Glyph 2.7 family and runs on the shared glyph-s search engine.

	Obsidian quick switcher	glyph-sO
Matches	File names	Full note text
Snippets	No	Yes — jump to the match
Query filters	Limited	path:, tag:, phrases, OR, excludes
Offline	Yes	Yes (Ollama optional)

What’s new in 2.7

Search profiles — tune the balance between speed and depth:

Profile	Best for
legacy	Maximum compatibility with pre-2.7 behavior
balanced	Default — good speed and relevance for daily vaults
max-quality	Deeper fuzzy matching, more candidates scanned

Extended query grammar — compose precise searches:

"path:projects/"              → notes in a folder
tag:evergreen                 → filter by tag
"deep work" -draft            → phrase match, exclude drafts
(task OR todo) type:note      → OR group with type filter
path: journal tag:daily       → combine filters

Modular architecture — search logic moved to services/search-engine.js, powered by the vendored glyph-s 2.7 engine. Easier updates and consistent ranking with other Glyph products.

Compact mode — minimalist panel spacing (enabled by default). Toggle in Settings → Compact mode.

Cached ranking path — token-variant expansion and snippet generation use the engine’s 2.7 caches for smoother scrolling through large result sets.

Install

1. Download the latest release from Releases.
2. Extract into your vault:

.obsidian/plugins/glyph-s-o/
├── manifest.json
├── main.js
├── styles.css
├── services/
│   └── search-engine.js
└── vendor/
    └── engine.js

3. Enable glyph-sO in Settings → Community plugins.

How to use

Action	How
Open search	Ribbon icon 🔍 or command palette → Glyph: search vault
Navigate results	↑ ↓ arrow keys
Open note at match	Enter
Recent queries	Shown when the input is empty

Tip: Obsidian’s Ctrl+O finds files by name. Use glyph-sO when you remember what you wrote, not where you saved it.

Settings

Setting	Description
Search profile	legacy / balanced / max-quality
Compact mode	Minimalist result panel (default: on)
Match all words	Require every token to match (AND vs OR)
Fuzzy layout	EN↔RU keyboard layout correction
Fuzzy transliteration	Rough Latin↔Cyrillic matching
Ollama query enrich	Optional local LLM query expansion
Hide hotkey hint	Remove shortcut hint from the modal

Pair with glyph-miO

For summaries and tag suggestions on the active note, install glyph-miO alongside glyph-sO. Together they cover search + metadata intelligence in Obsidian.

Architecture (2.7)

main.js                    # Obsidian plugin entry, UI, vault indexing
services/search-engine.js  # Adapter: settings → glyph-s rankSearchItems
vendor/engine.js           # Bundled glyph-s 2.7 (CJS)
styles.css                 # Panel styles incl. .glyph-so-compact

The plugin builds a search index from vault markdown files and passes items to rankGlyphResults() with the user’s profile and fuzzy settings.

Refresh vendor bundle

When glyph-s is updated, rebuild the Obsidian CJS bundle and copy it:

cd ../glyph-s
npm run bundle:obsidian
cp dist/glyph-search-cjs.js ../glyph-sO/vendor/engine.js

Or from this repo:

npm run vendor

Project layout

Path	Role
main.js	Plugin class, modal, settings tab, index builder
services/search-engine.js	rankGlyphResults, queryAlternatives
vendor/engine.js	rankSearchItems, snippetForItem, parseSearchQuery
.github/workflows/release.yml	Packages services/ + vendor/ into release zip
.github/workflows/pages.yml	Deploys docs/ to GitHub Pages

Release packaging

The release workflow zips manifest.json, main.js, styles.css, services/, and vendor/ so the module-based runtime works out of the box.
