Is there a way to indicate to Fibery search which database that it should search in directly in the search query?

For example if I know I want to search for a Task called Homework #3, is there a syntax I can use to search “Homework #3” in the task database?

I often search Fibery from the browser url bar and waiting to manually click and filter is not possible.

Hey Enoma, I tried to hack the query string but that didn’t work. I suspect there’s no support for url parameters if that’s what you wanted. I’m sure you’ve checked the guide but still [Fibery](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Search-344)

I only could do stuff like this:

but that’s with typing/selecting manually

Hope what you want is possible and there’s something new for me to learn 🙂

I created a [feature request](https://community.fibery.io/t/ux-search-global-search-inline-textual-filters-within-search-string/10514) for it.

Related (at least in my mind). “Database” should just be a field, no different from any other, that users could turn opt to display in searches both globally and contextually when linking or creating entities! I really don’t know how people have been able to efficiently use to-many relationships in fibery for so long without ways to show fields besides name, as creating one-off filter each time to be able to find or select the right entity is extremely annoying and inefficient.
