Good Idea! Here are some recent shortcuts I made.  
The first does search and replace strings across all the notes collection and might be useful after migrations from other apps or huge imports.

This search and export all the notes matching a custom search criteria and might be useful on iOS. The export format can be changed in the export action.

This last shortcut is quite simple but on macOS, if you follow [this article](https://medium.com/@richardmoult75/how-to-schedule-macos-shortcuts-96774f6972ac), allows you to schedule automatic backups of your Bear notes.  
We’ll possibly write a blog article with the complete procedure.
