Hi David,

Yes, a weakness of TW is that it doesn't scale well.

What is the advantage of linking to static files? I guess there's a little 
less overhead in terms of javascript, but now you have to use the search 
function to wade through the text. And you have to figure out a way to get 
new data back into the file. Why not just link to TW files?

It seems to me that your master file could be constructed so that it has 
tiddlers containing all the key words from the the sub-TW. So you could 
search for a term in your master TW, and it would quickly show you the 
links to TW's with matching terms. So your work flow would be 

  Search --> Click to indexing tiddler --> Click to sub-tiddler --> Search 
again

You would have to maintain the index tiddlers from time to time. I imagine 
someone could come up with a macro or plugin to facilitate that, or you 
could just maintain it by hand since there are lots of words it wouldn't be 
worth searching by (e.g. "there", "are","lots","of","words") The list of 
words in.each indexing tiddler would not have to be visible -- you can hide 
them inside of comments leaving only the link to the corresponding TW file 
visible.

It just occurs to me, if it was possible to make a plugin or macro that 
could use the existing search term and combine
