Hi Mat, There is a discussion going on about my "advanced search plus" plugin: https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/advanced-search-plus/ This may be interesting: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/tWo3S6sEwTs/QIzQhC7PCAAJ I did create it pretty much for the same usecase as you

Diego, I like the things shown in your example links - but they seem to be more about the visual UI than functionality. Regarding >- If it starts with '$', search all system tiddlers > > Yes, the restriction to not present system tids *in spite of explicitly searching for them* is

@PMario - thanks for pointing me to those links. Your creation looks intresting. UI-wise, the basic search is of course much more direct - i.e you have constant access to the search field and it starts to search immediately as you type into it. No clicking of buttons. It is this directly

Mat, No offence taken, and of course you have the skills to create what you want. And yes a primitive would be helpful, but one can be built without a submit button could be created. The edit fields solution I am working on allows you to simply add "text" to the list of fields in a field on

Mat, I agree what I suggested above was mostly visual. I am proposing an all-encompassing search bar composed of the above visual tweaks, unified search mode, as well as "fuzzy matching". In another thread in this group, we had a discussion about a plugin Rob Hoelz developed incorporating

I wish to bounce this here to make it precise before possibly adding it as a request on github This is a proposal to extend the EditTextWidget or possibly introduce a new widget to be a simple-to-use unit for user input. *Problem* The EditTextWidget does not work for modifying the

@Tony. Sounds interesting. Note that any user *can* of course manually create a "field with a submit button" but my point is that it should be built into core as a primitive. So I'm not really interested in seeing some neat macros that I probably could have created myself. I, of course, have

2018-07-26 Thread Mat
When hacking, I find it annoying to constantly have to pull up the "advanced search"... but it just struck me; Can't standard search simply also be a "filter search"? Basially; any string entered into the search field that is prefixed with "[" is interpreted as a filter. Tiddler titles must

I 100% agree! I've long fantizied of a single, simple search everywhere bar, ala: https://codepen.io/adrianlambertz/pen/bNQjvp That we just bring up with a keyboard shortcut. The closest (visually) is: http://j.d.spartan.tiddlyspot.com/ However behaviorally, I think it could be greatly
