Settings control how Alexandria behaves. Here's what you can expect in the core MVP:

General:

• Storage layout: notes are stored on disk with date-based directories. Attachments live next to notes.
• Unique IDs: each note (and tag) has a stable ID so links keep working even if you rename things.

Tag properties:

• Types: select, date, money, text.
• Use: tags can define properties. When you apply a tag, its properties become fields you can fill on the note.

Search:

• Partial match: you can find notes/tags by part of their title or ID.
• Exclusions: filter out terms to narrow results (used by UIs).

Safety:

• Trash: deleting moves items to Trash first, so you can recover mistakes.

Tip: prefer simple, readable titles. IDs do the heavy lifting for linking.
