Tobias,

Well done. Thank you for taking the idea further. Now, where I would
like to go with this but don't have the programming chops myself
is ...

to make a TiddlyWiki UI, e.g. within [[MainMenu]], where the user can
enter search terms, press <Enter>, and possibly several new tabs,
windows, or tiddlers will open containing search results. I'm assuming
Google here but Bing, Yahoo, or other search engines could possibly be
supported.

!!UI
*textbox
*command button
*slider to hide additional options

!!Configuration options
#Open search results in:
**new browser tab
**new browser window
**new tiddler
#A group of checkboxes, one per site, e.g. groups.google.com/group/
TiddlyWiki, groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWikiDev, groups.google.com/
group/TiddlyWeb. Site choices would be seeded by:
**a section within the transcluded tiddler
**a list (delimited) in another tiddler
**or a section from all tiddlers tagged "search" (similar to how the
"systemServer" tag works for ImportTiddlers

Depending on how the site choices are presented, the user could
specify their preferred domain, e.g. com, ca, jp, de, with each site
choice or through an additional configuration option. This would be
Google-dependent. I don't believe other search engines deal with
domains the same way.

I've got more ideas for elaborating this (e.g. integrating
TiddlyWiki's internal search to find hits before going off to the web)
but for now this is complex enough. Whaddya think?

Craig
