This is great! It is going to be a huge boost to finding notes. Relying on org-roam-find-file was very precarious since the title of a note does not adequately represent keywords by which future-me will look for a file.

The combination of selectrum-prescient-consult-ripgrep and your function is a key inflection point in my willingness to adopt org-roam as a core in my workflow. I am very much reassured that I can find any needle in a haystack of org-roam files.

The preview is a great touch. And, the speed is incredible.
