Hi everyone

I am playing with the field-search plugin by PMario, and seeing how search 
results for a simple search come up in tabs one can pick from.

This made me wonder, why couldn't there be something similar: do a search 
from the default searchbar, and have standard, system and shadow come up as 
tabs? 

This seems like it would be much more intuitive for users: search, then 
filter results. As it stands, $:/AdvancedSearch does the opposite: it makes 
you pick a type of search (standard, system, shadow, filter) first, and 
only then can you do the search. The search string you want to enter may or 
may not stay in your short term memory while you are figuring out which 
type of search you want to do. It seems like it would be a better user 
experience to 'dump' the search term first, then figure out which tab you 
want.

On the same subject, Why is there no comparable "recent" tab for system 
tiddlers? It seems like developers would benefit greatly having something 
like that open as they work on macros, styling, buttons, etc. 

I would love to hear your input: 
Do you agree with me? Why or why not? If so, should this be core pull 
request or a plugin? 
What are the reasons $:/AdvancedSearch is set up backwards? Technical 
limitations? Workflow-related?
What are the ways you work around these limitations?
