Currently, a search query will match any part of a contact's card. It would be nice to be able to search a specific property, for example, search for "Berkeley" in the "Location" field only, so people who are associated with Berkeley the university will get filtered out. I propose the syntax attribute:keyword as a special syntax that is processed separately from the rest of the query. For example:

location:berkeley '24

Will find the intersection of the current results for '24 and the contacts with "berkeley" in the location field.

This can also apply multiple times. For example:

location:berkeley work:apple

finds everyone in the list who works at Apple, who lives in Berkeley.

The special field indicator all: matches all fields. This is nice for disambiguation. For example, if we want to search for the string 'work:apple' as a literal match rather than searching the "work" field, for example, we can type

all:work:apple

Which will match work:apple on all fields.

It would be nice to have a field for schools people attended and their birthday.

Alma mater: Right now, I write these down in an unstructured way in notes as usually Major + Minor 'XX @ University.

Birthday: For the birthday field, when you load the page, there should be a banner or notification at the top that tells you if anyone's birthday is today or in the next few days.

• I would have loved to try Mira to see if it will fit my purpose.
• Can you let me know how to do a local installation?

Hey Linus, I wanted to run my own Mira, so I ported it to Deta. Here's my repo: https://github.com/abdelhai/mira
It uses Base as a DB, so #1 should be easy to implement since we do have query filters: https://docs.deta.sh/docs/base/sdk#fetch

Cheers!
