@Mark S; I particularly like the command palette
<https://souk21.github.io/TW-commandpalette/> plugin for searches.
Please note it is not designed for Streams, but can be made to work quite
nicely with it because the search steps are highly configurable through
the $:/plugins/souk21/commandpalette/CommandPaletteSearchSteps tiddler.
Here's an example of what I use at work; you'll notice I give precedence to
title matches (they'll be at the top of the results) and use the
get-streams-root[] filter extensively. The command palette adds a category (
hint) in the search results which I find helpful.
{
"steps": [
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[todo]search:title:literal[]get-stream-root[]!tag[Journal]!tag[Meeting]!tag[done]]",
"hint": "todo (titles)", "caret": "42"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[todo]search:text:literal[]get-stream-root[]!tag[Journal]!tag[Meeting]!tag[done]]",
"hint": "todo (text)", "caret": "41"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[Meeting]search:title:literal[]!sort[title]]", "hint":
"meetings (main)", "caret": "45"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[Journal]search:title:literal[]!sort[title]first[2]]",
"hint": "meetings (titles)", "caret": "45"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[Journal]search:text:literal[]get-stream-root[]!sort[title]]",
"hint": "meetings (text)", "caret": "44"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]search:title:literal[]get-stream-root[]]", "hint":
"others (titles)", "caret": "33"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]search:text:literal[]get-stream-root[]]", "hint": "others
(text)", "caret": "32"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]tag[todo]search:literal[]get-stream-root[]!tag[Journal]!tag[Meeting]tag[done]]",
"hint": "completed", "caret": "42"},
{"filter":
"[!is[system]search::literal[]get-stream-root[]]", "hint": "all",
"caret": "28"}
]
}
I have configured the command palette to fire on a single key shortcut (/).
Whilst TiddlyWiki offers keyboard shortcuts, they fire everywhere out of
the box, even within text boxes (not ideal for single key shortcuts!), so
my setup relies on the mousetrap
<https://welford.github.io/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fwelford%2Ftwmousetrap>
plugin: hitting / in a text box does not fire the command palette. I am
working on a tweak that will have a richer set of search steps
configuration, so that I can invoke the command palette to search for tasks
(I use projectify <https://projectify.wiki/>) using shift+/ and to search
in other tiddlers when I hit /.
In other parts of the UI, I have essentially inserted the subfilter "
get-stream-root[]" everywhere, so that the recent tab, the sidebar
searches, etc only show root tiddlers in the results.
I think one of the other members in the community here configured the names
of node tiddlers to be prefixed with $:/ which makes them system tiddlers,
which effectively hides them from most searches... another option worth
considering and simpler to setup.
