I’ve got a new Notenik beta available for testing.
This includes a fix for the Window Reuse problem [recently reported](https://discourse.notenik.app/t/multiple-windows-of-same-collection/473/5), and also some new stuff to enable the user to get [filtered search results](https://discourse.notenik.app/t/filtering-list-to-show-search-results/897).
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you’ve had a chance to download and test it.
Thanks!
This beta version is no longer available. Look for a [later beta release](https://discourse.notenik.app/c/beta-versions/17) or the most recent [Mac App Store release](https://discourse.notenik.app/c/announcements/6).

The Window Reuse problem appears to be solved! Thanks.
I appreciate you taking my ideas for filtered search results into consideration also.
Results appear to successfully filter in the “Found” notes list. I have two observations.
For one, just to be safe, anyone who intends to run this beta and the Filtered search feature should deactivate **“Create Notes for Missing Wiki Link Targets”** in Collection Settings if they have it activated for a particular collection. And always run beta versions on backups (or with a recent backup handy) anyhow.
1. **I noticed is that performing a search for a new string immediately after a filtered search for a different string applies the current filter to the previous search**.
2. **I think there is an issue with filtered search results that are bi-directionally linked to each other**.
* * *
This is somewhat hard to describe because it appears to be multiple things occurring at once:
1. When using the Search Next command **the selection may skip certain “Found” notes and remove others from the Found/filtered notes list**
- The note that is removed seems to be the note last displayed/selected note
- The removal from the Found notes list occurs simultaneously with skipping
- So removed notes typically precede skipped ones
- Skipping also occurs when using the Search Previous command
- But the removal of a note does not
- So I’m confident about my above point that removed notes precede skipped notes in their order on the Found notes list
2. **Certain notes are also removed from the Found notes list when they are selected with the mouse**
- When this occurs the note that immediately follows it will be displayed, but the note that follows the display note is selected
3. **A Found note may also be “deselected” when using the mouse to view it**
- In other words it will not appear as selected in the Notes list despite it appearing in the Display window
- Trying to Share these notes will cause a “No note to share” error to appear
- The note can still be edited and saved
4. **In some collections Found notes that disappear/are removed from the notes list are duplicated**
- All duplicates have the body “_Created by Wiki-style Link found in the Markdown code for the Note identified as…_” with an aliased backlink to the corresponding note
5. **Some notes appear twice in the Found notes list**
- They will appear at the bottom of the notes list after all notes are listed alphabetically
- i.e., if notes A-Z appear, then some notes [A,B,C] will appear after Z
- The Search Forward command will stop at “Z” (i.e., the last alphabetically ordered Found note)
- The repeated notes after “Z” cannot be selected—the last successfully displayed note will appear
- Some selected notes before “Z” will display a note not found on the Found notes list (i.e., a note that does not pass the search filter)
- **The last two points can occur even when there are no repeated notes**
- In other words there can be no repeats in a Found notes list but a Search Next/Previous command will still stop prematurely with a “No further notes found…” error, at a seemingly arbitrary note even though there are still Found notes listed as matches;
- Or the selected note will differ from the displayed note without there being repeats as previously described

Thanks so much for the testing and the exhaustive reporting!
See the [new beta](https://discourse.notenik.app/t/notenik-19-5-2-available-for-beta-testing-on-september-1st-2026/899) for what will hopefully be a better experience!
That being said, as you pointed out, there seemed to be multiple issues going on with your testing, and I’m not sure I have resolved all of them yet.
Will be interested to hear further feedback, as you have time.
Thanks again!

Happy to help when I can, Herb. I left a response in the new beta thread.
Overall the matters here are addressed in the latest beta and I think it’s safe for anyone to test the Filtered Search feature with “Create Notes for Missing Wiki Link Targets” activated.
