With reference to the issue on Github #3432 Search within the extra fields <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3432>
I would like to propose that the solution by Tobias Beer here: Searching In Tiddler Fields <goog_603105321> be enhanced and then submitted as a PR for TiddlyWiki's core. This tiddler adds a tab to *Advanced Search* named: *In Fields* It searches for text within (i believe) all fields except the *text* field of non System tiddlers It also allows a case sensitive search to be made using a tick box. It neatly lays out the results using field names as headings. It may be useful to enhance it a little. As it stands now, it only finds words in fields that START with a search term. Thus if a field contains: *Nelson Mandela* 1) This search is positive: *Nelson* 2) This search is negative: *Mandela* One option is to add a tick box that says: *Exact Match Only* If ticked, it behaves as it does now. If unticked, it would also find the second example above. I would also like to suggest a tick box that would *Include System Tiddlers* . I studied his code, and realized it is presently beyond my capacity to make the above changes. If Tobias has the time and inclination to incorporate these ideas, it would be wonderful. If not, it would be a big contribution to TiddlyWiki if someone could take on the challenge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
