This is quite a large whislist item, that maybe should be split up, but isnt.

I think the Quick Add Entry bar should be replaced with a multipurpose bar which would be able to add new entries with templates, search, save searches and access saved searches. This wouldnt eliminate the possibility of adding buttons/text entry fields for each thing as in Bertrand Rousseau's mockup. These could be optional and enabled via view menu. This type of bar would keep the interface simple while still providing the same tools for power users. Additions/searches would be accomplished through commands.
There would be a keyboard shortcut to access the bar, or maybe even toggle it?

ADDING TASKS
! <same as now>
!add <same as now>
!templatenamehere $1 $2 $3 
would require custom templates for new features that would be able to use variables passed from the ! command. Would tags be ignored? This would require users to be able to create and edit templates.

plugins should be able to register custom ways for things to be added, such as note links


SEARCHING
basic search wouldn't require any leading character, would be default action.

keywords: would be nice if "asdf asdF" would work. would only titles be searched? or also bodies?
tags: @ would indicate tags
exclude tags/words: - would indicate to exlude. example: -@tag,tag,tag -keyword -"keyword"
due date: <date >date would be before and after? or due:yyyy-mm-dd,yyyy-mm-dd? not quite sure
start date: something similar to due????

saved searches:
a search would be created with: ?searchnamehere <search arguments>
would be accessed with: ?searchname


Gnome Do: If somehow the same commands could be functional via gnome do that would be awesome.

Things i haven't thought about
how would it treat items/subitems? If a item matches criteria would all its subitems be displayed too? if a subitem matches criteria would the item be displayed too?
