How to search on Uncompleted Reminders, today and previous?

I want to:

  1. Find All Uncompleted Reminders with a Date of Today or Earlier.
  2. Save this as an Overview which will update to reflect the current date
  3. Filter this Overview to show only the paragraph with those Reminders

I’m going around in circles! Can anyone explain help? Thanks!

Not sure you could do that. You can certainly find notes with Uncompleted reminders, but I don’t think there is a way to have a constraint on the date of the reminder itself. You can only constrain the note date.

The new search is pretty powerful, but setting up constraints on properties in search terms is not supported to my knowledge.

I think this should do it:
Search field: \assigned-date → ‘tomorrow’ → click on token and choose ‘before’ → new token: 'has checklist’. Save list and filter.

Thanks, but doesn’t “assigned-date” refer to the date of the Note? I want to search on the date of the Reminder.

If true, that’s a shame!

I’m not wedded to this particular solution, but I’m trying to create a workflow to hone in on what I need to work on today. When I have a minute, I’ll explain in a new thread.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that. Was thinking checklists.

Another two cents: Aren’t all expired reminders from the past?
So, couldn’t searchfield: \reminder → dropdown → ‘expired’ work for you then?

Hmm, that might be right. Perhaps that is the way to do it.

Your product is much more versatile than expected!
Thanks,

  • search syntax for today’s reminders: \due-date(today) \reminder(scheduled)
  • search syntax for tomorrow’s reminders: \due-date(tomorrow) \reminder(scheduled)

None of them filters the correct reminders. For example, today’s search shows reminders from tomorrow.

Can someone help me with this? Is this a bug or no?

Pretty sure the due-date is not related to the reminder in this case. There is a special #due tag, which can be applied to any note. You use it like #due(21/02/2005)

You want to search for notes that have reminders that are due. I don’t think you can do that for a particular date. The best you can do is to look for overdue reminders (implies “today”). Ie \reminder(overdue)

Here’s a refined version of your message for clarity and grammar:

I don’t assign dates to my notes; instead, I’m looking to filter tasks that have reminders—such as overdue, today, tomorrow, etc.—regardless of which note they’re in.

Please correct me if I’m wrong: Currently, there appears to be no way to filter individual tasks that have specific due dates. If I have multiple tasks with different due tags, filtering by #due(specific date) still displays tasks with other #due(other dates) as well.

Correct. There is no task level filtering for search. Search is at the note level. So indeed, it will find tags matching the criteria, and include any note that has such a matching tag.

Our new content filtering is at the paragraph level, but that is applied after the search results. It’s a way to filter the content of what you see in the notes.
