Is it possible that this and #74 might both be addressed by adding a search syntax or a UI element to the Content view to allow a user to filter pages on arbitrary metadata?

Search Syntax

By default, the search could continue to work as it does today1 . With a search syntax, it could also allow you to specify a <key>:<value> or <key>=<value> (or <key>!=<value>) syntax or something similar to filter on metadata defined in the configuration/known by default.

If we go this route, it might be useful to have the UI filter elements operate functionally as search updates, adding the syntax they represent to the search query.

Filter UI

For this, I think perhaps a button to bring up a modal (or that prepopulates a dropdown?) could be useful to allow users to select the key they want to filter on and then supply the value they want to use.

  1. I noticed while writing this issue that I'm not actually sure how the search is implemented and it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. A quick check showed that it's not doing a fuzzy match on titles (or doesn't seem to be on my project). ↩︎

Since version 10, filters have been configurable. You can configure the filter to use any front matter field you want and to show/hide the default ones.

More information can be found here: https://frontmatter.codes/docs/dashboard/content-view#configure-filters
