[tw] Re: search TW5 tiddlers body for exact phrase
Thanks for your reply and your help. This plugin is exactly what I needed,
and should be part of the default file in my opinion.

You can use the [regexp[...]] filter operator to search for exact
phrase matches including spaces.
1) Open the $:/AdvancedSearch panel (click the magnifying glass icon
next to the regular sidebar search input field)
2) In $:/AdvancedSearch, switch to the "Filter" tab
3a) To search titles, enter your search syntax like this:
[regexp[your phrase here]]
3b) To search tiddler text, enter your search like this:
[regexp:text[your phrase here]]
Notes:
* Because the syntax uses square brackets, you cannot search for text
that includes square brackets.
* If you want to search both title AND text fields at the same time,
you can combine the filters in a sequence, separated by a space, like this:
[regexp[your phrase here]] [regexp:text[your phrase here]]
* If you don't want to use the $:/AdvancedSearch interface, you can
create your own custom interface by putting the following syntax into a
tiddler you create:
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/mysearch" tag="input" default=""/>
<$reveal state="$:/temp/mysearch" type="nomatch" text="">
<>>> [regexp:text{$:/temp/mysearch}] -[title[$:/temp/mysearch]]">>
* The $edit-text widget stores your search input in $:/temp/mysearch
(you can use any tiddler name you like, but something starting with
"$:/temp/..." is recommended to avoid cluttering up your regular list of
tiddlers)
* The $reveal widget prevents listing ALL tiddlers when the search
input is blank.
* The <> macro shows a bullet list using the combined
title/text search filter, and also automatically excludes the temporary
tiddler that holds your search input text.
* Because the custom search uses a separate tiddler to store the search
text, you CAN search for text containing square brackets, as it avoids
conflicting with the surrounding filter syntax.
* If you add the tag "$:/tags/SideBar" to your custom tiddler, it will
appear as an extra tab in the sidebar, allowing you to quickly invoke the
custom search at any time.
enjoy,

This is a bit more complex... but only a little. The trick is to define a
macro (e.g., "makefilter") that assembles the complete filter syntax using
a variable, like this:
\define makefilter() [regexp[(?i)$(pattern)$]] [regexp:text[(?i)$(pattern)$
]] -[title[$:/temp/mysearch]]
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/mysearch" tag="input" default=""/>
<$reveal state="$:/temp/mysearch" type="nomatch" text="">
<$vars pattern={{$:/temp/mysearch}}>
<$count filter=<>/> matches:
<$macrocall $name="list-links" filter=<>/>
* The "makefilter()" macro uses a variable named "pattern" that is defined
outside the macro itself
* The $vars widget retrieves the value stored in $:/temp/mysearch and sets
the "pattern" variable, which surrounds the call to the list-links macro
* You can't use a variable reference as a parameter in the <> macro syntax, so we use the underlying <$macrocall> widget syntax
instead
* Note: I added a bit of extra output using the <$count> widget to show the
number of matching results
> 2- How to replace the standard search with the new custom search?
>
The standard search interface is defined within the $:/core/ui/SideBarLists
shadow tiddler, which also defines the output of the tabbed lists below the
search. To use your custom search, you can replace most of the content in
$:/core/ui/SideBarLists, like this:
{{MySearch}}
<$macrocall $name="tabs"
tabsList="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/SideBar]!has[draft.of]]"
default={{$:/config/DefaultSidebarTab}} state="$:/state/tab/sidebar" />
To make the custom search look nice in the sidebar, you can also add some
styling to the MySearch definition by surrounding the $macrocall within a
... block, like this:
<$macrocall $name="list-links" filter=<>>
* The uses the same class definitions ("tc-block-dropdown
tc-search-drop-down") as the standard search results. This makes the
custom search results "float" on top of the sidebar lists, and gives it a
nice surrounding box with rounded corners and drop shadow.

I just use the browser's ctrl-F function, the same way as in TWClassic.
