Damon, Not listing all from the beginning is a good idea. As the 3 character before search limit helps. If you allow the desired string to be entered before listing found items, eg a submit button this can also help.
You could have a search already limited to tiddler, or system tiddler or some other item, before you type a string then the list starts. This is an advantage of classifying tiddlers with tag or I prefer an object-type field, you can limit searches to tasks, or other object-types or to those without an object-type from the beginning. Any search may make use of internal indexes if the filter is written correctly see https://tiddlywiki.com/#Performance on the indexes.
