Those searches for WikiLinks and backlinks are huge for Zettelkasten users. Thanks for implementing them so quickly!

Thank you for the background sync fix - it was bothering me since the update!

Great to see the new special searches – and reminded we can combine these with the minus operator, e.g. -@backlinks. A special search that finds all notes with no outgoing or incoming links is something I suspect a lot of people are going to find useful once they discover it.

Small piece of feedback as well: for me, special searches aren’t highlighted red in search text after the update.
