This is what I came here for. If I had a limited number of votes for features I’d throw them all in here! I was falling in love with Workflowy and all excited about creating the dashboard of my dreams and then the cluttered search results broke my heart ![]()
That “search node” would be a veeeeery nice feature…. It would simply beat Obsidian with the dataview queries and convince me 100% to drop Obsidian for all

For those comfortable with a CLI, consider:
$ workflowy search <search-term> --group-by=parent
or
$ workflowy search <search-term> --group-by=path
then paste the output into WorkFlowy (pipe to the copy buffer using pbcopy, clip, or wl-copy).
Grouping by the parent node produces results like this:
- [parent node](https://workflowy/...)
- start text [match](https://workflowy/...) end text
Grouping by the path node produces results like this:
- [parent -3](https://workflowy/...) > [parent -2](https://workflowy/...) > [parent -1](https://workflowy/...)
- start text [match](https://workflowy/...) end text
You can search with regular expressions too. And group by dates, change the sort order, etc…
