Search all mirrors

Imagine I have a word (eg. "radial") in more mirrors inside a list.

As of now, when searching for a specific word through the general search bar ("Esc") inside that list, it is possible to find the occurrence of that word just in a single mirror.

It would be great if it were possible for workflowy to show all the occurrences (the mirrors) in which that word is found.

  Hi Luigi,

  We may create a toggle to search for all mirrors :-)

  Yes Frank, that would be great! Possibly we would be able to search for all mirrors but exclude those created by the backlinks.

  Hi Luigi,

  We do have 2 search operators you could try using, depending on the context:

  is:mirror

  is:backlink

  definitely need to be able to search in more than one mirror: if your search term is found inside a mirrored node but the first mirror is itself inside a completed bullet, then you don't see any results.  The behavior seems consistent with: it filters all but the first mirror found, then tries to display it, but hide completed is on, so nothing is displayed.

  I'm using the board view mostly and I use mirrors. I use the search to "filter" my board. Seeing only the first instance of a mirror makes it impractical to work with mirrors on a board.
