Brilliant! Could let you have a list with document titles and, assuming 
they are in reality titled 

"$:/documentation//tutorial/beginner/widgets/<searchword>"

i.e using the introduced "titlepath" policy, there could be a dropdown menu 
for each "level" in the titlepath. Or a multi level popup where you're 
presented a new sublevel after each selection. In this context I think 
multilevel popups would actually make sense - you're spelling out the 
titlepath (and url). Because the acutal iframe content can't be evaluated, 
this setup would require hardcoded titles to all potential tiddlers in the 
(e.g) Documents category on tw.com.

Another variant would be a search box that, if dedicated to documentation, 
is preset with a filter and thereafter use the user query. I.e the user 
types in query "browsewidget" and because he has previously stated he is a 
beginner (perhaps in Controlpanel where he wrote his signature name) and 
because the searh box is dedicated to documentation, he gets a resulting 
list filtered on all those three values. (ie the documents on browserwidget 
for beginners).

Could also be used for e.g plugins or anything!. For the sake of this 
discussion, take plugins: Each plugin on source tw (presumably tw.com) is 
namelisted in the users tw but with attached meta data. The user writes, 
say, "navigation" and all titles containing that metadata are filtered out. 
Add to query and... you get it.

And the list of plugin names would be a thing continously updated by the 
community! A plugin developer adds his plugin url plus a lot of meta data 
to include it. Users updates his source database tiddler whenever. 

...and other users can add meta data to this plugin too!

It would take some place where people can add nothing more but the source 
url and the meta data into a list or table of some sort. Could maybe done 
in a plublic google docs document I think. I've set this google doc 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u2LvKY0CoYJK35rpQTy1kAuaI4HVXstpnVbi93XixpM/edit?usp=sharing>
 
to public and "anyone can comment" but I'm not sure how comments appear - 
can you add stuff to the fields, but not delete? That's what I'm hoping 
for. This would mean anyone can just copy paste it into their local source 
title list tiddler to update it. Ideally something more elegant than a 
google doc, perhaps something that you throw away an email to and it's 
added automatically.
