Very helpful video. Thank you. It’s a bit more difficult for me to write metadata as queries can’t pick up blocks that aren’t nested. Also I’m wondering if you can do query on block references and embeds.
I can't quite figure out how to do queries with block references. For example, create a query that finds the word "X" or the word "Y" from all blocks and pages. Can do in the search field, but you have to scroll through them one-by-one.
You have a course related to this topic and you are bringing out new course “your road to roam”. I know I want to take “your road”. I tried to sign up for early notice but not sure it came to you. Would I also consider this course in addition?
Check your email for the subscription confirmation. You're in my "unconfirmed subscribers" list. That sort of stuff often goes to spam or "Promotions," so check there. If you're into task management-especially if you've ever implemented David Allen's GTD before-then yes, I think "Powerful Task Management in Roam Research" would be good for you to take. But if you'd rather get a little more comfortable in Roam before diving into task management, maybe wait and do the "Your Road to Roam" course first.
Thanks for the video. It seems like queries only search for pages, not full text. Is that correct? I can't see any way that I can do a query to find something that is not linked. Am I missing something?
No, you're right (as far as I know!). The way to work with this is to remember that pages are tags, too-meaning, you can reference a [[page]] (or #page) simply to make sure something shows up right in a query. So, if you're writing about a topic, make sure to tag one of the times you refer to that topic. Then it will show up. In my task management context, the pages are essentially ONLY used as tags.
For full text search you just have to use the "Find or Create Page" search box. Alternatively, you can create page refs to the search terms you are look for, THEN either use the unlinked references to those new terms OR you can "link all" references in the unlinked references section then do your query.
Then after doing the search with page refs, you can then delete the page for the new refs and it will remove all the page refs (but not the words) from your DB.
Thank you. been searchng for a walkthrough, much appreciated. You have the voice of Alan Alda!!
How kind of you to say. I love Alan Alda!
Thanks for sharing. I wanna add that writing an "OR" query does not need a "AND".
Thank you! Most clear explanation I have found so far on queries
Glad it was helpful for you!
thank you so much. this is the best video as an intro into queries in Roam Research.
Great video, now my bookshelf in Roam is tidy and organized, thank you!
Does Roam Research list all the tags and backlinks in one place, like the All Pages?

@@markrobertson5395 I love the "create a new page ref" solution!
thank you!!!!!
Can we query "tag" ? How to write the statement, please? Thanks a lot .
If you have the tag [[tag]] (equivalent to #tag), you could query it with {{[[query]]: {and: [[tag]]}}}
Let me know if that helps!
@@RJNestorCoach Thanks a lot for replying so soon. It works. Thank you.
