  Details

  New command:
  "Search in file with last Omnisearch query"
  
  Use case:
  When you confirm an in-vault search by Omnisearch and think there might be more matched text that are not listed by Omnisearch in current file, trigger this command will open a in-file search modal and fill the search bar with last query in Omnisearch.
  
  Note:
  This is just a temporary workaround for a better in-vault search. I will implement full-featured in-vault search without dependency on Omnisearch in the future.

Limitations

In-file Search performance may be slower when a file contains over 500k characters. I plan to enhance the system by automatically adjusting the fuzzy search level for larger files in the future.
