There's no indexing system in TW, and thus no scalability. Indexed databases were able to handle hundreds of thousands of records even with 1980s hardware.
There's a way to send empty tiddlers via the server that only get populated on demand. The problem then is that your search will only see the titles and tags (fields ??) for searching. But if what you wanted was link and tag based (without depending on text searches) then it should work OK. You would need a separate (or enhanced) search box to fetch tiddlers from the server directly. Or, maybe someone could write a system that would store an index to the current TW's text context. Then a special search would look through the index and use that for creating a list of links of tiddlers. The tiddlers would become populated when clicked on. The index would be updated on saving (harder) or on demand. -- Mark On Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at 11:04:39 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Mark S. wrote... >> >> So, TW checks off most of the boxes, possibly more than any other app, >> though it is sometimes not as convenient as other solutions, has saving >> complications, and hits performance barriers especially on mobile devices. >> > > Its becoming possible to wrap TW into installs where an executable handles > all the saving problems.
