I use orgrr, my note-taking package for Emacs, for many different but sometimes overlapping aspects of my life: A main slipbox for professional knowledge, several writing projects, an org-journal folder, a folder with tasks for work, downloaded websites/mastodon posts (via mastodon.el) and more.
Recent additions to orgrr, such as global variants of find, insert, show-backlinks, show-related-notes, or orgrr-search (new in 0.9.6!), ignore the boundaries between these different containers (which are just different org-directories). Imagine invoking C-u orgrr-show-backlinks on a note in your slipbox and finding that relevant section of a newspaper article you read months before or that insight you linked in your journal in 2021.
More on the new orgrr-search:
As most of orgrr itself, orgrr-search and orgrr-global-search (or C-u orgrr-search), draw on ripgrep. The search string entered here is directly passed to ripgrep, so all regex that ripgrep understands should also work here. Search in orgrr is not case sensitive (i.e. rg -i is set). Search results are presented in context and clicking on the linked headline above a result will directly take you to the line in the source file.
