Straight out of the box, TiddlyWiki does not do "keyword" searches... rather, it does "full text" searches. Thus, "Term1 Term2" is not the same as "Term2 Term1", just as "John Smith" is different from "Smith John". > Can anyone tell me how I can switch the wiki to search for all the > words in my query and neglect the order of the words? First, open [[AdvancedOptions]] and select the "Enable regular expressions for searches" checkbox. With this option set, you can then enter multiple search terms in the search input field by separating them with "|" (which means "or"), like this: term1|term2|term3 Regular expression syntax (aka, text patterns) can also be used to search for 'wildcard' text, like this: some.*thing The ".*" means "0 or more characters", so the above text pattern will match anything that starts with "some" and ends with "thing". In addition to the above syntax, regular expressions have lots of other special sequences that can be used to construct very complex and varied patterns to be matched. In fact, regular expression text patterns are so powerful that the TiddlyWiki core's wikify() function uses them to recognize, process and render all the wiki-syntax in your tiddler content. For an overview of the various syntax elements that can be used within regular expressions, see: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#FAQ_RegularExpressions enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
