The Search++ plugin enhances Obsidian's search functionality by allowing users to extract and insert search results directly into their notes. By using a custom syntax, users can specify a search term and the number of characters before and after the found text. This feature enables quick access to relevant content without having to leave the note. The plugin offers seamless integration with the Obsidian command palette, allowing for easy updating of search results within the note. It streamlines the process of finding and including important information, making it ideal for users who need to reference related content frequently.

The Hotstrings plugin allows users to create custom text expansions in Obsidian, enabling automatic replacements while typing. This feature is useful for quickly inserting frequently used phrases, signatures, or complex words with simple triggers. Users can define and manage hotstrings through the plugin settings, ensuring seamless integration within any note or editor. Hotstrings can be updated and reloaded without restarting Obsidian, making it easy to refine and expand shortcuts over time.
