SilverBullet has a generic indexing infrastructure. Pages are reindexed upon saving, so about every second. 

The [[🔌 Index]] plug also defines syntax for [[Tags]]

## Content indexing
The [[🔌 Index]] plug indexes the following:

* [[Metadata]]
* [[Tags]]
* Page backlinks (queryable via the `link` query source), this information is used when renaming a page (automatically updating pages that link to it).
* List items, such as bulleted and numbered lists (queryable via the `item` query source)

## Commands
* {[Space: Reindex]}: reindex the entire 
* {[Page: Rename]}: Rename a page
  #ProTip Renaming is more conveniently done by editing the page name in the header and hitting `Enter`.
* {[Page: Batch Rename Prefix]}: Rename a page prefix across the entire space
* {[Page: Extract]}: Extract the selected text into its own page
