I think it has already been discussed somewhere but again, I would like to hear what the situation is: Will there be any global search for cards? 
I am having bigger and bigger issues in finding stuff.

in the meantime, any details on your search use cases and scenarios would be helpful to have (what kinds of things you would like to be able to search for? What causes/prompts you to want to search for them?)

Easiest would be tags, related todos, related person
Another would be, I m doing a 9 month long course , happens every Monday . I do capturing of those in daily notes but would love option to see all related notes in search. We have tonnes of homework to be done, itās a pain to keep going back early notes .

Tags can sort of help with that in their current state, right? Even if search were implemented, youād still only get the cards with that phrase in it, not the related notes around it, so if you used a tag, you could click that tag in any space and thatās essentially a saved search for that phrase / person / tag. And then within that Tag dialog, you can further search by any word or other tag across your global instances of that tag.
Somewhat related, Iāve asked for a todo box to essentially be tag so you could see all your open checkboxes across spaces in the same manner as a tag, and then further search by additional words or tags.

what would determine whether a note was ārelatedā in this case?

Configurable but by default, only 1st degree of relation only

Tinderbox solves this problem with concept of alias , which are closely related to Originals but have their own identity . Makes sense ?

Tags can help, but it assumes that you know what you will be searching for in the future. So while it helps for things you know you are tracking now, it wonāt help if you are trying to find something else that you never thought of tagging previously.
I just can never assume that the current āmeā is smart enough to know what my future āmeā will want to do

+1 to global search. I came here to see if this was a feature.

itās still in the pipeline as the next major feature after dark theme (which is days away from shipping), but the overall new feature timeline has been moved back a bit bc:
- The Growth/sustainability numbers arenāt looking good and my current priority is bringing in new users and increasing stickiness.
- So the priority for things like referrals systems and improved onboarding has been moved up,
- Iāve just started working with a marketer, and once sheās fully onboarded/working I should hopefully have more time for power features like search

This might be a lot faster for me to build with the constraint of itāll only search cards/spaces that youāve created. So if you have a space with collaborators, it wonāt search the collaborators content. I suspect this would cover 99% of search scenarios but wanted to double check with you

thinking something like this, where you choose to search globally (āall spacesā) because those results arenāt instant like current space (āhereā) searches are
