 John Wiegley | Categories are either headings with a :CATEGORY: property, or they are files with a #+filetags tag | 20:01:33 |
| John Wiegley | or, a :CATEGORY: file property | 20:01:47 |
| John Wiegley | or #+category | 20:01:58 |
| John Wiegley | haha | 20:01:59 |
| John Wiegley | I really should normalize this | 20:02:02 |

 Aad Versteden | I think I misunderstood that there's a tree hierarchy in the category. I use one of FILETAGS (but that's not a tree, just one level) and a link to a specific document. I tend to do both but it's not the easiest to navigate today. | 20:05:08 |

| yantar92 (Org contributor) | On categorization, this one is an impressive and inspiring post: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure/ | 20:08:29 |
| John Wiegley | I love these resources, thank you! | 20:10:26 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | I have many more :) | 20:10:34 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | but that will be too much | 20:10:38 |

| John Wiegley | I'd recommend keeping a database, like the awesome lists | 20:13:01 |

I'd recommend keeping a database, like the awesome lists that is my database | 20:13:17 |
| Aad Versteden | org can be a database. The storage format only has to serve the intended ways of querying. | 20:14:10 |
| John Wiegley | I mean, a database that other can consume; but maybe you have that already consumable | 20:14:35 |

I mean, a database that other can consume; but maybe you have that already consumable that would require separating private notes away | 20:15:36 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | not on top of my priority for now | 20:16:03 |

| yantar92 (Org contributor) | I have made org-ql search #keywords inside headings | 20:16:43 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | this way, I can easily match notes even when I do not recall exact details | 20:16:57 |
| John Wiegley | I use xeft when I am stumbling around | 20:17:37 |
| John Wiegley | it's super super fast | 20:17:43 |

I use xeft when I am stumbling around it does not understand hierarchy | 20:18:11 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | org-ql is better this way - I can tag top level item and search all the notes just inside it | 20:18:29 |
| John Wiegley | xeft is more of a last resort, when I can't find it by other means | 20:18:54 |
| John Wiegley | it's too blunt an instrument, but it covers ALL content | 20:19:03 |

xeft is more of a last resort, when I can't find it by other means ... which is why I prefer searching across #keywords only. I tried full-text search. It is not very practical | 20:19:47 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | for full-text search I simply use regexp predicate in org-ql | 20:20:03 |
