Reading through the filter operators and examples given on tiddlywiki just to 
familiarise not memorize would be a good first step, you can then return to 
search for help when you need it.

I for one was curious as to everything possible and worked my way through 
tiddlywiki.com experimenting with simple examples of different operators. It 
tends to make you think and discover new way to look at things even in every 
day life. As well as arm you to ask the better questions when you ask for help. 
Just remember to tell us what you want before telling us how you tried to do it.

Regards
Tony

If you use it every day then it will become second nature.

If you only need a special search every few months, then you could just pop 
in to the group here or on reddit and ask your question.

Don't forget to save your search in a tiddler if it's something that you 
need periodically. That way you leverage TW to help you use TW.

Good luck!

Thank you.  Has anyone put together a plugin which is more suitable for
non-geeks or geeks who only use complex search once in a while?

I could learn how to use filter expressions, and I could probably retain
that information for a few days.  Then I'd come back and try and use it 3
months later and go, "Oh.  Yeah.  There *is* a way to search for strings
and tags, but it just isn't worth the effort to re-learn filter syntax."

It's not a matter of lazy.  There are only so many things I can remain
"current" on at a given time, and I have to prioritize.
