Description

Hi,
I was recently looking in to using this integration and noticed that warning that all text input into the search field will be sent to Notion. Since this app seamlessly integrates into the NC search, I get why that is, but I was curious if it would be feasible within the Search infrastructure to restrict it so that only specified searches go to Notion. From a data privacy point of view, one of NC's main selling points, that would be really nice. They don't need to know the name of my contacts when I search to pull up their contact card, for example.

Would a search "tag" like "notion: search term" be feasible in how this integration and NC's search functionality works? Sort of like how you can restrict a Google/DDG search by specifying "site:" before your search.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Nextcloud search integration and the path that sends search-field text to Notion. Determine whether a search tag such as "notion:" can be supported by the search infrastructure without forwarding other terms. Done means the privacy behavior and supported search syntax are defined and verified.
