Hi Walt, The "tabs" are added to the search result dropdown and to the "Standard" AdvancedSearch tab. This mechanism is built into TW standard.

There are several discussion here in the group about *searching *"*all the fields*" The plugin was created after a discussion here in the group, where some users wanted a simple way to *separate *the search results into "*title*" and "*text*" only tabs. Because I personally wanted to have "*caption*" and "*aliases*" I did add them as well. Sometimes I want to search "system" tiddlers, without the need to switch to the AdvancedSearch tiddler. That's why I did a the ` *+system*` button to search results. That's the reason, why the options are as they are. ... You are right. It should be more flexible. > However: It's not working as i expected, based on what was shown in the > video, in that when i click on the new "Fields" tab that appears when i > enter a string in the search widget, it does not deliver a set of results, > but rather gives me the option to either edit or visit the tiddler: > `$:/plugins/wikilabs/field-search/ui/fieldWrapper > <#m_1474954102592107631_> > $:/tags/SearchResults`. > This list is only there to sort the tab order.

I had a short look at Tobias'es list. ... The next version of field-search will have a different formatting of the output. I think the field should be shown. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
