Search does not recurse

zk-root/
    A/
        0000-file-number-one.md
    B/
        0001-file-number-two.md 

Now if I have to reference 0000-file-number-one.md in 0001-file-number-two.md, I have to use [File number one ref](../A/0000).

Similarly, if I have to reference 0001-file-number-two.md in 0000-file-number-one.md, I have to use [File number two ref](../B/0001).

Otherwise zk list -l will not work.

Now imagine I need to move a note to a different directory level. Is this by design? And what is the point? All notes have unique IDs. Or are IDs only unique per directory? Right now I can only think of making a stable symlink (e.g. in A to B) and referencing against that (as in [ref](B/0001-file-number-two.md), where B is a symlink to ../B), and EDIT: zk list -l does not follow such symlinks...

I noticed yesterday that relative links are not properly resolved relative to the location for the source note. This sounds like a manifestation of that.

Could you elaborate? It occurred to me to try running zk list 0000 in the top directory and it doesn't find anything either.

This would make sense if you assumed that filenames are only unique per directory, but I have no idea what zk assumes, because it's not documented.

[WhyNotHugo]

My bad, I mis-interpreted your question.

This is by design. You could potentially have:

zk-root/A/0000-file-number-one.md
zk-root/B/0000-file-number-one.md
zk-root/B/0001-file-number-two.md 

Both files with name 0000-file-number-one.md are distinct files.

@WhyNotHugo Is it possible to stably cross link between directories? Using a relative path like ../A/0000-note.md seems sketchy to me, though I might be exaggerating. I am thinking of two possible options.

1. /A/0000-note.md is resolved relatively to zk root.
2. A/0000-note.md where A is a symlink to a directory under zk root.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Symlinks may form file system loops, but that shouldn't be a problem for resolving links. Even when you resolve links recursively each note is only processed once.

[WhyNotHugo]

../A/0000-note.md should work fine.
