GotoPlugin doesn't actually do anything special to render the search results... the 'search for text' entry in the GotoPlugin droplist simply invokes a regular search action, just as if you had typed into the search field. If you don't have SearchOptionsPlugin installed, you get the standard TW default search behavior (i.e., immediately display all matching tiddlers). If you *do* have SearchOptionsPlugin installed, then the results are rendered based on the settings in that plugin, including the option to display the results in a list at the top of the story column. Thus, you can install both GotoPlugin and SearchOptionsPlugin together to get the effect you want. Also, the 'floating' search results panel on TiddlyTools is not part of either GotoPlugin or SearchOptionsPlugin. Rather, it is a custom tweaked #searchPanel DIV that is explicitly-defined in the PageTemplate so it can incorporate the <<moveablePanel>> macro to make it float (see TiddlyTools' MoveablePanelPlugin and PanelManagePlugin). Without this customization, the #searchPanel will appear as a DIV at the top of the story column, as usual (assuming you have enabled that option in SearchOptionsPlugin) > While at it, a smallie; for GP, maybe a little [>] > type button next to the fill-in-field as one is now forced to mouse > down to click "Search" otherwise.) If you enter text into the GotoPlugin input field and press ENTER, it opens the specified tiddler (even if it doesn't exist). However, if you press SHIFT-ENTER, it immediately invokes the 'search for text' item, directly from the GotoPlugin input field. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
