GNOME Shell search provider for Zim Desktop Wiki, inherited from @dsboger.
Zimsearch lets you search through your Zim Desktop Wiki pages
comfortably from the Activities Overview search box of the GNOME 3
Shell. It acts as a GNOME desktop search provider, and also as a
Zim plugin.
TBD
If you have all the dependencies already:
sudo pip install .” or “pip install --system .”For detailed instructions, see the Installation Guide.
Search terms typed in the GNOME Shell overview are used to look up Zim
pages from your notebooks. To find an existing page, click on
Activities in GNOME or press the key that’s often decorated
with a Windows logo. We’ll call it Meta for short. If you
have a Zim page called “Recipes for Goulash”, you can search for it by typing…
Meta
Recip
You might not need to type it all out. Once it’s the only matched item
in all of your the search results, you can press Return
to open the page in Zim.
Page titles are matched against the search terms and only pages that
contain all the terms are shown. By default, all notebooks are searched,
but there’s a setting in the Zim plugin to limit the search to the
default notebook only.
It is also possible to limit the search to a certain notebook by adding
a term preceded by a hash sign (#). Only notebooks whose names contain
all the # terms are searched.

New pages can be created by typing a complete page title, a little like
nvPY. When there are no real results, Zimsearch adds some extra
“New Page …“ results. By default a new page goes into your
default notebook, but you can select others with # terms as above.
