Advanced Search in Fields: The Next Step

#1

Ref: Advanced Search in Fields Plugin: New Updates

What do you think if we can search in fields from the sidebar but like Google?

  • field:term like title:HelloThere
  • AND several steps on the fly
  • Remove unwanted results with just -
  • simple, flat similar to native standard search

Lovely! Thanks for investing so much work to build something perfect.
It is a strong competitor for filtersearch. The buttons to export and delete would be usefull there.

Whoah! I think it a great idea! Using the “Google delimiter: method” is a neat idea!

But, an, issue, I think, with it is it introduces yet another syntax.

I think as a self-contained plugin advertised as a novel, efficient sidebar search it could have great wide use.

But it would be a mistake to mix it up with Advanced Search In Fields plugin as it would get too complex cognitively to cope with both this and that.

Just an early comment

That is quite true! I think I have to stick to TW search syntax!

This new method needs to have its own container and name!

That’s very true. Also…

@Mohammad What you’re close to proposing is a CLI intrinsic to TiddlyWiki – something I’ve considered for a long time. If you go with this idea, I would suggest not limiting it to searching, but instead make sure to offer all possible “commands” experienced users might want to type in.

Detail:

I’m picturing a $text-edit (<input type=text...>) with a datalist attached. User can type and/or select commands from the list. Hit enter/click Go! and the command is executed.

Call it TWiCL (pron: twickle) TiddlyWiki integrated Command Line

Disclosure

I have something very similar here, though I did it using Tampermonkey. If I had time, I’d rewrite it to be native TW code.

Thank you @CodaCoder!
I thought to create a gSearch, but it would be good to have more features as you described!
Just to see what we have already, I would like to name two plugins

  • command palette
  • customized CodeMirror (this is very powerful)

If I am correct, command palette has some features close to CLI! Am I right?

#7

What is command palette? Is that a plugin?

And what is customized CodeMirror?

#8

See Command Palette — a command palette for TiddlyWiki
but there is a mod version by @linonetwo distributed through CPL (community plugin library)

This is also an amazing plugin with a lot of shortcuts and autocomplete and TW syntax highlighter! This also distributed through CPL

Caro @CodaCoder, @Mohammad is not just a great programmer, he is also kinda pretty HIP.
