Hi Michael
The easiest way to use a filter is to place it in triple curly braces.
You'll get back a list of links to the tiddlers that the filter yields. For
example:
{{{ [tag[introduction]] }}}
For more flexibility, you would use the ListWidget. Search for "filters" on
tiddlywiki.com and you'll see links to all the relevant docs.
