This plugin will search files using Obsidian search functionality and then paste result. The output can be customized using template feature.

• Just use built-in plugin manager and find Text expand plugin

• You need Obsidian v0.9.18+ for latest version of plugin
• Get Latest release
• Extract files and place them to your vault's plugins folder: <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/
• Reload Obsidian
• If prompted about Safe Mode, you can disable safe mode and enable the plugin. Otherwise head to Settings, third-party plugins, make sure safe mode is off and enable the plugin from there.

• You should wrap your search request like that

    ```expander
    SEARCH_QUERY
    ```

• Open command palette (Ctrl + P)
• Find and run Text expand: expand command
• It should search and put results below the wrapped request

Using template feature you can customize an output.

• Put template below the SEARCH_QUERY line
• Put a cursor inside code block with a templete
• Open command palette (Ctrl+P) and find Text expand: expand command

To create a list:

```expander
SEARCH_QUERY
- [[$filename]]
```

or to create a table:

```expander
SEARCH_QUERY
^|Filename|Content|
^|---|---|
|$filename|$lines:1|
```

Syntax looks like that:

```expander
SEARCH_QUERY
^This is a header
This line will be repeated for each file
Also, [[$filename]] <- this will be a link
>This is a footer
```

• Line prepended with ^ is a header. It will be added at the top of the list
• Line prepended with > is a footer. It will be added at the bottom of the list
• Line with no special symbol at start will be repeated for each file. Also, all special sequences will be replaced.

• $filename - return a basename of a file
• $lines - return the full content of the file
• $lines:10 - return 10 lines from the file. 10 could be replaced on any number
• $ext - return extension of the file
• $created
• $size
• $parent - return parent folder
• $path - return path to file
• $frontmatter:NAME - return frontmatter value from field NAME
• $header:## - extract content of all ## headers in a file
• $header:### HEADER - extract content of the HEADER, ex. $header:##Ideas or $header:"## Plugins for Obsidian"
• $blocks - extract all blocks paths from the note

• Delay (default: 2000ms) - the plugin don't wait until search completed. It waits for a delay and paste result after that.
• Line ending (default: <--->) - how will looks like the line below the expanded content
• Default template (default: - [[$filename]]) - how will look the expanded content when no template provided
