Inconsistent documentation for label/relation search

[memeplex]

Description

In https://docs.triliumnotes.org/user-guide/concepts/navigation/search#label-and-relation-shortcuts:

However, common label and relation searches have shortcut syntax:
#publicationYear = 1954
#author.title = Tolkien

But then all the examples for relations are of the ~ form:

~author.title *= Tolkien

Good catch — this is indeed a documentation error. Looking at the actual search parser code, the correct prefixes are:

• # for labels (e.g., #publicationYear = 1954) [1]
• ~ for relations (e.g., ~author.title *= Tolkien) [2]

The introductory example #author.title *=* Tolkien incorrectly uses the # prefix for what is a relation search. It should be ~author.title *=* Tolkien to be consistent with the later examples and the actual implementation.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
