Smart Group showing all documents with at least one character in the Finder comment

I want to see all documents with at least one character in their Finder comment.

I had a bit of a hard time finding the right value for the matches field:

I need to use ? (the glob symbol for a character) instead! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The condition Item contains Comment is the recommended and much more efficient solution in this case.

P.S:

Of course! Thanks for this.

This looks cool – but where do I find the Search Assistant?

(I searched the help and the application menus for for “Search Assistant”, but could not find it. I also had a look at the Chat pop-up window, but nothing’s there either… IBTW, I have connected the Gemma3 model via ollama.)

There are multiple versions of Gemma3, from 270 million up to 27 billion parameters. The smaller ones might be fast but probabily will fail especially in case of more complex tasks like the search assistant.

Thanks @BLUEFROG. Found it! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you. This certainly makes a difference.

I am using gemma3:latest which has 4.3 billion params and 3.3GB size.

Would you say, this is sufficient for the Search Assistant? Can you recommend another local model (maybe up to 5GB size)?

Unfortunately not, I usually test only models with at least 24b parameters.

I think .* will include blank items

I believe .+ will find items with 1 or more characters

DEVONthink’s search operators include different wildcards, but you can’t use actual regex.
