Referencing & Reusing
The Pieces for Obsidian Plugin offers powerful search tools to quickly find and access your snippets saved to Pieces Drive. You can search using keywords, tags, or other metadata, making it easy to locate relevant snippets within your notes and projects.
In Obsidian, you can perform broad searches or refine results using specific terms like function names, keywords, or tags, making it easy to locate the exact snippet you need.
To search for snippets, open your Obsidian Vault and navigate to the Pieces plugin in the sidebar.
From there, you can use the search bar at the top of the Pieces panel to input your query. You can search by specific terms, tags, or even parts of snippets.
