🦊Firefox

Without addon

  1. Create a bookmark with this url :
    https://tiddlywiki.com/#:[!is[system]search:title:literal[%s]limit[20]]
  2. Add the keyword of your choice (letters, no space) e.g: tw
  3. To search the doc, type your keyword in the address bar, followed by a space and then your query.

With addon

  1. Download this addon : Search Engines Helper – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
  2. Click on the icon, select “Add a nw search engine” then follow the steps.

The benefit of the addon is to be able to change the icon of the search engine + it will show up in the list of your search engines (the bookmark trick will not).

🤖Chrome

  1. Copy/paste this url in your searchbar: chrome://settings/searchEngines
  2. Click on Add
  3. Give a name, keyword and the url https://tiddlywiki.com/#:[!is[system]search:title:literal[%s]limit[20]]
  4. To search the doc, type your keyword in the address bar, followed by a space and then your query.

Any tiddlywiki can be searched that way, this is not limited to the doc.
The filter can also be adjusted, e.g the filter [!is[system]search:*:literal[%s]limit[20]] will search in every field.

Thank you @telumire

By way of thanks,

  1. drop this in your address bar:
data:text/html;charset=utf-8, <html><title>Textfile</title><body contenteditable style="font:normal 13.6px sans-serif;background-color:%23f0fcff;margin:0;padding:0.5em;"></body>
  1. Start typing in the browser page
  2. File/Save as

Works in Firefox. Haven’t tried Chrome et al.

Search selected text using Tiddywiki Doc

:fox_face: Firefox with Context Search addon

  1. Download this addon : Context Search
  2. Visit the Firefox addon options for Context Search and
    add your new search string:
    https://tiddlywiki.com#:[!is[system]search:title:literal[%s]limit[20]]
  3. Add the keyword of your choice (letters, no space) e.g: tw

In this way you can use this search as @telumire mentioned above.

  1. Add a name of your choice e.g. Tiddlywiki doc

  2. Add new search engine
    The tiddlywiki favicon appears within the contextmenu

  3. Select any text on a page or wiki opened in firefox.
    6a. Search the doc via the context menu:
    Right-click on selected text and choose Tiddlywiki doc as the search engine

    6b. Alt-click on selected text and use Tiddliywiki Doc out of the grid of icons

It’s off topic but this can be used in tiddlywiki to load custom html into an iframe, without using javascript!

<a href="""
data:text/html;charset=utf-8, 
<html><body>Link one was clicked</body>
"""
target="foo">
Link 1
</a>
<a href="""
data:text/html;charset=utf-8, 
<html><body>Link two was clicked</body>
"""
target="foo">
Link 2
</a>
<iframe name="foo" srcdoc="""Click the link !"""/>

I’m not sure how useful that could be but I find this interesting :slight_smile:
