Yes Eric that is exactly what I meant. It's basically a location search
for common gedcom tags (which are not the same as TiddlyWiki tags.)
Thanks so much for the examples.
I have been reading about macros but I still don't think I grasp them fully
yet. However, though experimentation I have come up with the following 2
examples which give me better control over the title lists. The first works
fine. I prefer the 2nd example as it's more general. I think it can
generalize even more into a macro named "location-search" maybe. Something
similar to <<location-search "California">>
First Example:
\define searchflds()
<$list filter="[search:$(flds)$[California]]">
</$list>
\end
<$vars flds={{{ [fields[]regexp[_plac$]join[,]] }}}>
<<searchflds>>
</$vars>
Second Example:
\define search-filter(term) [search:$(flds)$[$term$]]
<$vars flds={{{ [fields[]regexp[_plac$]join[,]] }}}>
<$list filter=<<search-filter "germany">> >
<$link>{{!!caption}}</$link> {{||year-span}}<br>
</$list>
</$vars>
