# Multi-Vault Navigator plugin for Obsidian
Multi-Vault Navigator, by Hir43th, is the only plugin I found that searches across vaults from inside Obsidian. Core Obsidian stops at the vault boundary: Search, the quick switcher, backlinks, the graph and Bases never see your other vaults.
What it adds:
- Fuzzy search over all your vaults (it reads Obsidian's vault list), with filters per vault
- Read-only previews of notes from other vaults, in a tab of the current one
- Cross-vault backlinks, and `VaultName::NoteTitle` wikilinks rendered as clickable links in Reading view
- A "Copy to current vault" action (the source vault is never modified)
- Recent files across all your vaults
Everything stays local, with no telemetry. But it's young, desktop only, has a tiny user base, and Obsidian staff haven't reviewed it manually yet. Promising, but test it on a copy first.
My actual advice: keep one [[Obsidian Vault|vault]]. If you want separation, do it inside that vault with folders, excluded files and [[Workspaces core plugin for Obsidian|workspaces]].
