Add a number after rcntpgs: to display that number of recent pages. E.g. the full query on rcntpgs:10 will show the 10 most recently modified pages.

Scoped search is the same as default search but restricted to search within a specific hierarchy item.

on nb:\A Notebook\A Section Group\>hello there

on nb:\A Notebook\A Section Group\*hello there
Will search for titles in the hierarchy item A Section Group that match or are similar to hello there
