Note

This post is a thought. It's a short note that I make about someone else's content online. Learn more about the process thoughts

Here's my thought on 💭 searching my thoughts locally

First I need to fetch my thoughts from the api, and put it in a local sqlite database using sqlite-utils.








        

fthoughts () {
    # fetch thoughts
    curl 'https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999' | sqlite-utils insert ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post --pk=id --alter --ignore -
}

Now that I have my posts in a local sqlite database I can use sqlite-utils to enable full text search and populate the full text search on the post table using the title message and tags columns as search.








        

sthoughts () {
    # search thoughts
    # sqlite-utils enable-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags
    # sqlite-utils populate-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags
    sqlite-utils search ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post "$*" | ~/git/thoughts/format_thought.py | bat --style=plain --color=always --language=markdown
}

alias st=sthoughts

Now I am ready to search my thoughts, which is a tiny blog format that I created mostly for leaving my own personal comment on web pages, so most of them have a link to some other online content, and their title is based on the authors title.
