Thanks for the quick reply! If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that I put an easily findable field in with a tiddler that has one of these bad fields. Unfortunately I am not sure which tiddlers have these bad fields in the first place. As of now, there are no tiddlers that are faulty per se. Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I added this extended search functionality. The search functionality still works, but I don't like the aesthetics of the weird syntax showing up. It also makes me worry that these bad fields are going to cause unforeseen problems in the future. I tried opening the html file in a text editor (i am on a mac so i don't have notepad) and it only shows a list of the tiddlers that are contained. How do I open it so it shows me raw text? Thanks for helping! I've done a lot of coding in tiddlywiki so far but i still feel like a total newbie at most of this stuff.
