Flash Page not included in Ctrl+Alt+F search scope? (Logseq) #2645

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm experimenting with integrating some Logseq-like workflows into VNote, where I use the "Flash Page" to jot down most of my transient or throwaway thoughts throughout the day. However, I noticed that the Flash Page is not searchable via the global search Ctrl+Alt+F.

Describe the solution you'd like
□ Include the Flash Page
I believe the Flash Page doesn't naturally belong to any of the current scopes—Buffers, Current Folder, Current Notebook, or All Notebooks. But it also shouldn't require manual inclusion every time. That breaks the speed and spontaneity of the workflow. The whole point of Flash Page is to flashly get flash ideas—quick capture, quick retrieval, minimal friction.

My suggestion: treat Flash Page as a scope-independent file that is automatically appended to all search operations, regardless of the selected scope.

To make this behavior controllable, consider under Ctrl+Alt+F adding a toggle option such as: □ Include the Flash Page

This would allow users to opt in or out of Flash Page inclusion without having to manually adjust scope settings each time.

Describe alternatives you've considered
□ Include the additonal scopes: file/folder/notebook This option is also good for a cross-notebook workflow without including All Notebooks scope.

The other two options to mimic Logseq-like dated page are the Quick Note schema system and Quick Access. Quick Note fails because it requires selecting a schema after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Q, and it always creates a new file with a incremental number (e.g., quick-note-%da%.md). Quick Access, on the other hand, allows opening the first default file via Ctrl+Alt+I. However, both types of note files require manually adjusting the search scope, which disrupts the existing workflow.
