Description

### 🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

IMHO, using `ObsidianSearch` grepping is sub optimal when you already known `title` or `alias` (defined on front matter) you are looking for.

In addiction, `ObsidianQuickSwitch` is not useful when notes are named after `ID`s.

Research direction

Start by tracing the ObsidianSearch and ObsidianQuickSwitch entry points and how notes and their front matter are currently discovered. Define completion as allowing searches and quick switching by front-matter title or alias, including notes whose filenames are IDs; the issue does not identify specific files or tests.
