Search index plugin

[Richard Marr]

Hi all,

Attached is a proof-of-concept for my first TW plugin. It creates a
reverse index in the DOM so that tiddlers can be found quickly
according to what words they contain (and how many instances, etc.)

It also displays the results as a paged drop-down under the search box
rather than opening the tiddlers.

I intended this mostly as a learning exercise but would be interested
to hear peoples' comments.

All the best,

Rich

Thanks for sharing!
It seems to have some nice approaches (e.g. the results popup[1]).
However, I'm not entirely sure what to do with this plugin now, or how
to properly use it.
Could you upload a demo somewhere (e.g. on Tiddlyspot[2]), with a few
examples on how to use it?

Thanks for listening!

I'll do exactly as you suggest once I've cleaned it up enough to be
considered a proper initial version. I mainly posted it as-is to make
first contact and see if there was any interest in that sort of thing.

Can I recommend just slapping it up at tiddlyspot or wherever right
now? It's always easier for people to have a quick look when it's
actually working somewhere at the end of a URL, rather than having to
mess around unzipping and stuff.

Then you can benefit from FND finishing stuff off for you :)

Sorry, obviously I meant to say "Then you can benefit from
contributions that may come from folk who find themselves unable to
stop tinkering with stuff even if they are very busy", and didn't mean
to mention FND by name //at all//.

;D
