## What it does

### Before 'Better Search Views', search results look like this:

### A closer look

Let's open one of the files with matches, and see how the hierarchy in the search result matches the file:

### But what does it do exactly?

The plugin brings more outliner goodness into Obsidian: it improves search views to create an outliner-like context around every match.
- **It patches native search, backlinks view, embedded backlinks and embedded queries**
- It renders markdown in the match to HTML
- It builds structural breadcrumbs to the match by chaining all the ancestor headings and list items above
- If the match is in a list item, it displays all the sub-list items below it
- If the match is in a heading, it displays the first section below the heading (you know, for context)

### Global search looks like this
