Exactly, TT has always been an advocate on matters of searching.  With my 
different wikis, the main search often gets modified for each, depending 
upon what I want to the search bar to search for (often excluding tiddlers 
from its search). The advanced search I felt was too much for the end user 
that isn't working with the wiki but rather just reading/navigating it. 

If I was going to suggest anything for the general searchbar, it would be a 
setting to give it's search filter exclusionary pareameters like the sort 
parameter for the toc macro.  BTW, does the vertical toc have that 
parameter?

With my current project, I am going to modify the search bar to do separate 
searches for words between title and text, additional phrase search*, to 
reduce/separate the search results.  The phrase search is a feature since 
it will be used for a poetry collection wiki.  The selection button would 
be up in the toolbar.  Almost tempted to have the results show in a sidebar 
tab.
