Description

Hi, one thing that I really like about Notion is that it's really easy to find blocks by entering very few characters after the slash, e.g.:

This automatically leads to very memorable abbreviations for creating new blocks. In appflowy however, I need to enter an exact substring of the block name in order to find it, which means I have to enter more characters, which in turn makes me slower and the workflow more clumsy:

It would be wonderful if Appflowy could implement this search the same way Notion does – or maybe fall back to this search behavior if no results can be found using the current search behavior.
