I'm not sure if I understand this correctly.

But I want the search to look for the term in *zettelkasten* and 
*bibliography* as well. And this is what TW-Searchwikis is about, right?

What do you mean by a glossary? I don't have a central tiddler where I keep 
track of "terms" that are used in multiple wikis. 

To give you a more precise example: 

   - I wrote a short summary about David Allen's GTD book 
   
<https://brainfck.org/bib.html#Getting%20Things%20Done%20-%20The%20Art%20of%20Stress-Free%20Productivity>
      - There I have a link to GTD <https://brainfck.org/index.html#GTD> 
      which is part of the *zettelkasten*
      - In the GTD tiddler <https://brainfck.org/index.html#GTD> itself I 
      have a *source field* (origin of information, thanks @bimlas for 
      that) which contains a link back to the tiddler in *bibliography*
      - Sometimes I want to link to some quotes (for example Getting Things 
      Done - Note 3 
      <https://brainfck.org/bib.html#Getting%20Things%20Done%20-%20Note%203>) 
      in the *zettelkasten* wiki
         - what I want now to achieve is to show in Getting Things Done - 
         Note 3 
         <https://brainfck.org/bib.html#Getting%20Things%20Done%20-%20Note%203> 
         which tiddlers in *zettelkasten *(and not only) are pointing to 
         it  
         

I hope this helps.
