Hello,

i use TW daily and make a new Tiddler (or more) a day.
What i would like is to do a search through all my tiddlers and only 
display the text (lines) with the keywords i search for instead of the whole tiddler.
Like this:

====================
TiddlerToday

[keyword1] text text text text text words words words [keyword1]

[keyword2] text other text other words and text etc
more text more words and even more words [keyword2]


====================

So i would like to search for [keyword1] and then get the one line between the [keyword1]
and in case of [keyword2] i would like to have the 2 lines (or 3 or four in other cases) between that 
[keyword2] displayed and not the whole TiddlerToday text.

Is that possible?

Thanks!

Ray

Thank you Eric, this comes really close to what i was looking for.

If only i could fix Dropbox sync to my phone (Android) working for my TiddlyWiki.htm file all would
be great ;-)
Although editing on the phone is not that fancy it works.
Next step would be converting my notes database from Evernote to TW :-)
On google i see many solutions the other way around...

Thanks again!

Ray
