New search behaviour demo

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Everybody,

There is a new way of searching currently discussed at https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1066.

Please see the demo:

http://spangenhelm.tiddlyspot.com/

• Searching does not hide default tabs
• Search tab is not visible per default
  
• If search is started, tw will change to the search tab and backup the old tab
• if search is empty, the old tab (if existed) is restored and search tab is hidden

Lovely, marvelous, awesome, perfect. And the best is that it uses one of my plugins 😜

+1 for including this as a core feature. Or at least as an official plugin.

There is a JavaScript error if you open this tiddler:  http://spangenhelm.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FSideBarLists
FF 36.0.4, 38.0a2, cromium Version 40.0.2186.0 - windows 8.1

I added this error to prevent people from messing with the demo-code. :)

- I will fix it.

Yes. and I also strongly promote the context search to become a core thingy, it is like the google search for tw.

I now updated the code and put a demo (that is an exact copy of @Spangenhelm's original demo) with the bugfix here: http://wkpr.de/hosting/tmp/searchdemo/tw.html

Once @Spangenhelm merged the bugfixed macro, the official demo remains: http://spangenhelm.tiddlyspot.com

I think the core should have the basic functions. So there is space for different "advanced" search plugins. ..

+1 to add these functions to a plugin

Adding the context search as an official plugin is fine too, especially
with 5.1.8 and the new plugin mechanism.

I actually thought about it before, it would be nice if search results were just another sidebar tab instead of blocking them.
Great UI idea, I love it. Definitely wanna see it included as core aswell. :)

I would really really love to see something like this be the standard behavior shipped with TW be default
Fantastic work once again.

Great idea - and good job. Congratulations :-)

Could one of the authors update this for the new sidebar structure that was introduced around v5.1.18 or so? Simple copy/paste or drag-and-drop does not work anymore, but the plugin itself does.

I got it to work with some minor tweaks and splits, but one of the original authors should post the changes, in case I overlooked something.
