Hmmmm, 

We "kind of know", that nobody like*d* that behaviour.

TiddlyWikiClassic did exactly, what you described, with the search 
dialogue. ... Guess what. Nobody liked it. The first thing everyone did 
was, import the "SimpleSearchPlugin 
<https://classic.tiddlywiki.com/#SimpleSearchPlugin>", which did open a 
"match list" and a button. 

 - If you download the classic wiki, 
 - delete the plugin, 
 - save and reload, 

You can test the "original" behaviour. ... It sucks.

--------------

I don't see a reason, why users should wait several seconds for all 
tiddlers to open. ... You could create a new search, that opens all 
tiddlers, which contain the "search term".  ... But this would also create 
a UI freeze with each keystroke. ... 

So my minimal solution would be an "Open All" button in the search 
dialogue. .. So the user has control. see TWc

The other drawback I see, if users use "bad search terms" eg: "and" or 
"the", which probably will find every tiddler. Only experienced users would 
use search terms, that create a list that is small enough, that it makes 
sense to open it. 

Your example: 

Imagine a large screen. Imagine your Tiddlers display small fragments (a 
> sentence or two). Imagine it has columns.
>
 = possible 50+ Tiddlers on screen at once.
>

doesn't really convince me, other than: "I want it". ... If 1 tiddler only 
contains 2 sentences there is a high chance, that order matters. Search 
will probably open them "out of order". 

have fun!
