Looking for a way to search across fields other than Title or Text, i was 
inspired by this video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onRkttEULPw> to try 
the Field Search <https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/field-search/> plugin 
(edition? am not clear which it is, plugin or edition) by @PMario, which 
looks like providing exactly the functionality i need. 

However: It's not working as i expected, based on what was shown in the 
video, in that when i click on the new "Fields" tab that appears when i 
enter a string in the search widget, it does not deliver a set of results, 
but rather gives me the option to either edit or visit the tiddler:  
`$:/plugins/wikilabs/field-search/ui/fieldWrapper
<#>
$:/tags/SearchResults`. 

NB: the version i've just installed (0.2.4) is different from that of 
Mario's YouTube demo (v.0.2.2); also, i'm not working in a "clean" instance 
of TW, but rather one also has latest version of the (soon-to-be-celebrated 
;-) Google Sheets plugin currently in development 
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/discussions/5482>... So maybe 
there's some incompatibility here, i don't know.  If so, i hope it can be 
sorted soon, because these two plugins have the potential to make of TW a 
super-powerful tool for exploratory data analysis, as i see it.

Anyway: from my end-user view, i don't particularly care about this 
under-the-hood stuff; i just want the simplest possible solution to the 
problem of searching my user-defined fields across the wiki with a minimal 
number of clicks.  Any advice about how best to accomplish this would be 
most appreciated!
