There are several discussion here in the group about *searching *"*all the fields*" The plugin was created after a discussion here in the group, where some users wanted a simple way to *separate *the search results into "*title*" and "*text*" only tabs. Because I personally wanted to have "*caption*" and "*aliases*" I did add them as well. Sometimes I want to search "system" tiddlers, without the need to switch to the AdvancedSearch tiddler. That's why I did a the ` *+system*` button to search results. That's the reason, why the options are as they are. ... You are right. It should be more flexible. >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`. This list is only there to sort the tab order. >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. The field-search plugin doesn't overwrite any core tiddlers. It only uses existing TW functions to add tabs to the search results. >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! Searching "all Fields" should be automatically selected after you installed the plugin. I had a short look at Tobias'es list. ... The next version of field-search will have a different formatting of the output. I think the field should be shown. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
