Adding a few trailing characters to a post's title might enhance Search operations. I referred to this as tagging earlier, but perhaps (search) Targeting might be a better term.

One consideration that may be resolved with a bit more testing is... What characters can be used that are readily found via a search. I am quite aware of this since I've been "targeting" my Tweets for a very long time with hashTags made up of one of the 26 alphabetic letters + the _ character. That gives a base27 position, which the use of a second character expends exponentially ro 2^28-1 possible values. (note that 123 = 1x10^2 + 2x10^1 + 3x10^0).

Its also worth nothing that

* Permutations are distinct

* There are many more than 100,000 unicode characters that have readly recognized gylphs

* The UCS subset of UTF-8 has about 2.2 billion assigned values.

* English words (with a maximum length of 20 or a few more letters) are a very tiny subset of sunch a positional matrix, that could be thought of as an N-dimensional array in which each position corresponds to an attribute shared by all of the elements in a "colunn", "row", "sheet", "group" etc.

Most people think this is confusing, but its really just simple math and could easily be automated within TiddlyWiki.

Ciao Hans

It is interesting.

Is there an issue of "how would a user know what to do in search?"

I think you'd need a push button of their "images" to transfer those unicodes into search?

Also do all search engines recognise them?

Just asking

Josiah:

re "knowing what to do" ...

We are quite familiar (and appreciative) of Dave's DynaList work that I would point to as an example of what can be achieved with a bit of easy design effort. I've been working in that environment enough to know that it can be used to craft a library of helpful Searches.

To illustrate, it took much less than a minute to:

* copy a part of the title of this post and paste it into the Google Search bar.

* I then copied the Search URL and pasted it into the top of this small Public DynaList I occasionally use to disseminate stuff.

* https://dynalist.io/d/_Xd3otdU1KRsesIKNqQfSBBB

Conclusion: Seems to work just fine and can certainly be structured, formatted and generally "dolled up".

Hans,

Unfortunately I get this on the way to be able to see it ...

Best wishes

Somehow this "public" file suddenly requires an access link since I last used it.

I will not be able to look into this until later this week when thos current trip ends.
