This sounds more like a function for a “quick switcher” or “command palette”, although some tools do combine quick switch and search into one as they have some overlap in utility. From a UI standpoint though I am not sure how favorites would sensibly show up on the search window in Fibery.

Personally I would love to see either a dedicated quick switcher/command palette, or perhaps some new _functional_ syntax for the quick search that allowed you to filter search very quickly to particular areas. So for example a special symbol preceding some 1-2 letter command or filter indicator, and then regular search text. E.g. `=fa dail` would limit search to _favorites_ (=fa) and “dail” would match “daily tasks”. This has the benefit of keeping the search UI focused on search, but also addresses your need, and in a way that stays keyboard-centric for those who prefer that. It could also ultimately become much more powerful and tie-in with other recently discussed search needs e.g.:

This really limits the usefulness of search at times, whether in the Ctrl-K pop-up or in-line entity linking (this is even more of an issue due to [Narrow texts in entity search pop-up make correct selection difficult](https://community.fibery.io/t/narrow-texts-in-entity-search-pop-up-make-correct-selection-difficult/1051). I’m not sure the best way to handle this. I know the “status” is a feature of the Workflow Extension. It seems important e…

So for example I could filter by database entities `=db searchterm` vs. views `=vi searchterm`. Obviously the special character would have to be something unique that is unsupported in entity names, or have some other way of delineating it. But I like this core concept, at least…
