So, basically you want to select the search. TiddlyWiki gives you a way to
make those kind of choices. It's the select widget.
Here we're back to using the search box on the side. Paste this into INDEX
or wherever you want:
<$select tiddler="$:/temp/searchfilter" default="Choose">
<option value="Choose">-Choose one-</option>
<option value="[has[intelligence]search:intelligence{$:/temp/search}]">
Intelligence</option>
<option value="[has[climate_terrain]search:climate_terrain{$:/temp/search}]"
>Climate/Terrain</option>
<option value="[has[hd]search:hd{$:/temp/search}]">HD</option>
</$select>
<$macrocall $name="list-links" filter={{$:/temp/searchfilter}} />
The "macrocall" is invoking the list-links macro in a way that allows us to
pass in the results of the selection.
The selection creates a drop-down list. You can pick whatever search you
want and that's how the contents of the search box will be used. You can
hopefully see how the filter for each option choice is made. You can copy
the existing options and tweak them to match other search criteria as you
add fields to your data and searches.
As always make backups!
