The TiddlyTools Basics QuickStart document uses GotoPlugin to provide
a combined "goto/search" input field.  The [[SiteNav]] tiddler
contains a macro call to "<<gotoTiddler ... search>>".  Text entered
there is automatically compared with tiddler *titles* only (minimum of
3 characters input before matching is done, adjustable via <<option
txtIncrementalSearchMin>>) and a droplist of matching titles is
displayed... selecting from that list opens the corresponding tiddler.

To perform a full-text search of tiddler *content* using this combined
goto/search input, you need to enter the desired text (or text
pattern) and then press the SHIFT-enter key to initiate a search of
tiddler content rather than a search of the tiddler titles.  This, in
turn, renders the "search results" display instead of the droplist of
matching titles.

As you noted, after the search results are displayed, the 'search
again' form that is presented with the results *does* perform
incremental ('live') searching of tiddler content.  This is because,
unlike the <<gotoTiddler>> macro, the results box uses the TWCore
<<search>> macro to render the text input field, and *that* macro
applies a full-text search by default.

The easiest way to get that functionality is to manually insert a
<<search>> macro at the beginning of the [[SideBarOptions]]
definition.  This will add the input field to the sidebar, below the
existing "goto/search" input.  To avoid confusion, you can also edit
the [[SiteNav]] definition to change the prompt text to just
"goto" (rather than "goto/search").  Alternatively, if you don't need/
want the "goto"  title-searching functionality, you could simply
replace the <<gotoTiddler ...>> macro in [[SiteNav]] with <<search>>.
