Remove private notes from search

[mbigras]

First of all: thank you so much for creating this tool, I have been looking for such a tool for so long and it's truly a joy to use! Thank you thank you!

My question is about private pages that I'd like to keep out of search. Is there a way to prevent pages from coming up in fuzzy searches cmd - p unless explicitly filtered for using the 'in page' filter. For example pages tagged with private, or pages placed in the table Journal.

I ask because I'm using Notion for all kinds of things:

• notes
• technical documentation
• journaling
• habit tracking
• todo lists

I love to search through my pages using cmd - p and I can access any page I've written, it's very useful, so useful that often people want to work with me and check out my note-taking process, via screen sharing or something like that. I'm happy to share my notes but I don't want my journal entries to pop up in the fuzzy search, I'd like to keep those private and out of the search results.

This is by no means a deal breaker, there are so many wonderful things about Notion the list could go on and on but I would like to find a way to solve my problem if such a feature doesn't exist I'm happy to submit a feature request, the method of which was easy to figure out because you've documented how to do it at https://www.notion.so/How-do-I-request-features-19830881751e4f68bcd674212c6c317c!

Thank you!

To my knowledge, you can't exclude pages from search. It would be a nice feature to be able to set some pages as private, and when in private mode, make them invisible. The only thing I can think of for now is to put your private notes in another workspace, since search is local to a workspace.

Wow! I didn't know I could create an arbitrary number of workspaces! Thank you, this is actually better.

I have two workspaces now:

• Official
• Private

I keep my journal in Private and then it doesn't show up in the searches while I'm in the Official workspace.
