If this is the primary need, then maybe there are other requests that would benefit you, e.g. > [@Show fields in search results](https://community.fibery.io/t/show-fields-in-search-results/9673): > > We attach a lot of our data (tasks, wikis, travels, bookings) to a database with projects. It would be great if the default search has a fields option (like most views) so we can show which database an entity belongs to / is linked to. > [@Show lookup fields in certain search fields?](https://community.fibery.io/t/show-lookup-fields-in-certain-search-fields/9193): > > Maybe this is already possible, but I routinely have trouble knowing what precise entity to select in certain search fields, if lots of entities have the same name. Attached is an example. I could obviously label the entities differently, but it would also be great to force a linked lookup field to show in these search fields. My database is such that although there are entity IDs, which is helpful, it isn’t a great solution. I know this is possible in certain other places.

Yet they all still show up in my searches. 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… TLDR, I am not trying to deliberately try and dissuade you of the need for markdown in simple text formulas, but rather focussing on what problem we might be solving if we supported it. Appreciate the engagement 👍 > [@Sev](#): > > I love prioritising features that have the mechanism already in place At the moment, there are probably many technical limitations to the simple text field which would make this a very complex feature to implement - it is quite different to the phone, email, url formatting. For example, we don’t really support markdown rendering anywhere except rich-text fields/documents. It would mean introducing a prosemirror-like functionality for every UI component in the workspace that is currently used to displaying simple text (± hyperlink). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/render-text-formula-output-as-markdown-optionally/9689)._
