Yes, you can absolutely repost the grammar on tw.com; I'd be honoured to 
have contributed even a small amount!

Sad to say, I hadn't seen the TiddlerFilters tiddler. I thought I'd looked 
through every tiddler on tiddlywiki.com, but I guess not. It's exactly what 
I would have been looking for!

Honestly, I think it's a matter of terminology. This may be because I'm new 
to TW, but I was looking all over for "search" capabilities. Not finding 
them wasn't helped by the bits about "better searching" in the future 
roadmap; I assumed it was called "search" and just wasn't implemented, yet.

What I would recommend is creating a help tiddler called Searching and have 
it say something like "In TW the word used for searching is *filtering*. 
Imagine seeing a list of all your tiddlers, then only displaying those 
which match a certain filter. The TiddlerFilters tiddler better describes 
the filter syntax. At the moment full filter syntax is not used by the 
sidebar, but it is used by <$list>, etc. The sidebar will support it in the 
future."

Sorry for my confusion when the TiddlerFilters actually answers 90% of the 
questions I had! At least I learned something by digging through source. :)
