Bimlas, On my large personal tiddlywiki my main organisational method is defining tiddler-types such as object, project, task, reference, document, domain (work / personal) person and client. In this way my search always starts with knowledge of both the tiddler type and its context which is "domain, Project, client" and I can always look at it from the perspective of a person. None of these use tags, just fields. So tags are free for for what they are best at, but I use surprisingly few.
