This is request #2 from the recent user’s email.
> I preface my tags with a hash mark (#) and use hyphens between words to create multi-word tags. I find that Notenik conserves a tag’s #-mark in the plain text file but doesn’t show it in the app’s edit view or recognize it when searching. So if I want to search for my “#money” tag, I have to search for “money.” But that will find every note with “money" in the text or title (not just tags) unless I have configured Advanced Search to search tags only. It would be easier for the user to be able to search tags with the #-mark.
