I had exactly the same question, and it turns out that searching in fields *already works*! It's just a bit of a kludge. :)
By using the <$list> widget you can take advantage of the richer filter syntax. I couldn't find where it's documented, but you can figure it out pretty easily by digging through the source code. The general syntax is: <filterString> ::= "[" <filter-list> "]" <filter-list> ::= <filter> | <filter> <filter> <filter> ::= <filter-operator><filter-argument> <filter-operator> ::= <filter-operator-prefix>";"<filter-operator-name>":"<filter-operator-suffix> <filter-operator-prefix> ::= a prefix | "" <filter-operator-name> ::= "is" | "has" | "each" | "field" ... (see complete list by looking in $:/core/modules/filters/ on the internals tab of the Control Panel) <filter-operator-suffix> ::= a suffix | "" <filter-argument> ::= "["<search-string>"]" | <http://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fmodules%2Ffilters%2Fbacklinks.js>"{" <indirect-search-string>"}" | <http://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fmodules%2Ffilters%2Fbacklinks.js> <regex> <regex> ::= "/"<regex-string>"/" | "/"<regex-string>"/""("<regex-args>")" <regex-string> ::= a javascript regular expression <regex-args> ::= [mygi] (for global, case insensitive, etc.) * Note that the parser was simplified by treating regex "/" as a "bracket" of sorts, meaning there could only be a start and end bracket. Thus the regex arguments, like i, are included in parenthesis immediately following the trailing "/". * Note also that I haven't quite figured out what the "indirect search string" does, nor what uses operator-prefixes have. :) The neat thing is that by allowing both a suffix and an argument (which the code actually calls an operand) you can do things like: <$list filter="[field:fieldName[searchString]"></$list> or, using regex brackets, <$list filter="[field:fieldName/caseInsensitiveSearchString/(i)"></$list> TL;DR: To search in fields create a new tiddler. Add the following to it: <$list filter={{!!searchbox}}> </$list> Then add a field named "searchbox." Turn on the preview pane (the "show preview" button) and type the following into the searchbox field: [field:abcde/fghij/(i)] Where "abcde" is the field name you want to search and "fghij" is the string you want to search for. You will immediately see a list of matching tiddlers.
