Josiah, Mark,

I thought of doing something similar for PDF files I may drop on a wiki, 
add subjects or keywords to fields in the PDF tiddler such that a search 
can find the tiddler (containing the PDF).

I have just built a subjects alternative tag field using GenTags.  And will 
test it soon.

Regards
Tony
