Brady, I always agree we need to keep it clear and simple. GenTags helps with that but a little more css to delineate the different tag equivalents could help. Perhaps later I can elaborate in more depth, but the difference between "category", "subject", "keyword" is in some ways what you want

Great discussion! I have been thinking about how to organize tiddlers in my TW as well. From the whole folders/tags/links/search debate, I internalized that it is the best to use search and rely on links as well, use tags as a supporting mechanism and leave folders to the previous centuries.

Another bold idea: what if the *storyview* will be an *intelligent list*, that get populated with tiddlers based on the faceted search output? You may say: "Hold on! Tiddlywiki has much more to offer than tags: there are *links* as the first-class citizens as well as *fields* to create a

I would like to discuss another problem that is directly related to the search-and-filter topic: I find it difficult to work with hierarchy of tags. What i would like to have is a simple and intuitive "drag-and-drop" interface, where - on the left side will be a tags tree (expandable if you

Hi Tony, I can see your point. And have to admit that I was focused on tags, only. You say that a tag is (technically) just another metadata "field:value" pair. Sure, however there is something special about tags: you can find it on top of tiddlers with distinct graphics. People tend to use

Brady, Not only do I believe you can achieve this with TiddlyWiki, you can go a lot further. The same data can be organised multiple ways. Using title, tags and content search will get you a long way but do not under estimate the use of fields as well. Once a field exists it can be searched

Thanks, Jed. I did try your interface. Your basic idea (i.e. filtering by related tags) is exactly what I am looking for. Should you find the mentioned workflow more user-friendly I would be really glad if you can bring it to life. I cannot help you with coding, but will be at hand to discuss

I think this is a great idea. I've long thought that in a knowledge organization system like TW, search should be a FIRST CLASS entity! Things like a large, central search bar and meaningful navigation, and stratification of results as you've described. I think something like this should 100%

While the interface you describe is much better than what I made (some improvements to to tiddlywiki since I made it would allow the sort of interface you are describing), I have something similar in my bookmarks plugin. Look at the Bookmarks Sorted By Tags tab here
