Niiiice!!! :-D This is so exciting for me (ref. my new found interest in
active use of fields).
Now, I can't fully follow the syntax - e.g how does the placeholder
%inputTitle% know the the term inutTitle? Is this a hardcoded keyword?
...but, more importantly for the OP, I'm wondering this also search the
field name itself, or only the field value? The descriptions don't make
this clear and even the last example that I interpret as possibly dealing
with exactl this question is described like:
"This example returns the actual fields where the search term could be found
for the fields *title*, *tags*, *summary* and *doesnt-exist*:
Does "found for the fields" mean "found in the field values for..." or
perhaps both "found in the field titles and/or the field values for..."
As you know, normal search does search both the tiddler titles and the text
fields - and even top-ranks title hits - so it would be very good if this
was also the case with your method!
Oooh, this is so exciting! A much more active use of fields really feels
like it's opening up a lot of possibilities. I'm sure experienced TW coders
reading this are thinking "but we've been able to do this forever"... but
that is precisely because they're experienced TW coders.
@anyone - Apropo use of fields; it seems like a perfect method to use for
*forms*, i.e the type of "fill in the empty boxes" that laymen are used to.
I think it would be easy to make such a form, using a field per "empty
box", but does anyone know if it's already been made by someone, in TW?
