It sounds like you want a search that works like the sidebar search but that:
* Only searches your business tiddlers * Only searches the *first* letters of the title of your businesses So, as you type "Kan" you see all the titles that start with Kan (Kanvass Clothworks, Kansas Combines, Kansas Elevator, Kantina Refreshments, e.g.) but by typing after Kansas the list gets smaller. So you effectively have the best of both worlds. You can see everything that starts with "A", or "K" or "Kan". I've always wondered why Arkansas isn't pronounced "Ar-Kansas", but I digress. -- Mark On Saturday, December 15, 2018 at 10:36:23 AM UTC-8, Damon Pritchett wrote: > > My project consists of a large collection of a certain type of business in > Kansas.
