I 100% agree! I've long fantizied of a single, simple search everywhere 
bar, ala:

That we just bring up with a keyboard shortcut. The closest (visually) is:

http://j.d.spartan.tiddlyspot.com/

However behaviorally, I think it could be greatly simplified with 
"header/starter keys" to signify "searching modes":

   - If it starts with '$', search all system tiddlers
   - If it starts with '[' its a filter
   - If it starts with nothing, OR some forcing character like '\', then 
   search text fields of normal tiddlers
      - This addresses the finding filters present in normal tiddlers
   
We can even define user specified ones like:

   - If it starts with '#10' search only tiddlers that are 10 days 
   old/modified.
   - etc.
