I've seen this feature around but am now unable to find the plugin(?) again: I would like a add button to appear next to the search field in the sidebar for Riddlers that cannot be found. The newly created tiddler would then take the title from the search word(s).

Anyone out there who knows what I'm looking for?

Existing manual method;

  • If you search for a non existent tiddler, eg tetrahedron
  • Click Advanced search > Filter
  • It will be listed below as missing and you can click to create it.
I am looking at enhancing the search mechanism with me own plugin, I will consider adding this;

As a quick solution the attached json (single tiddler) displays a link to the missing tiddler below the advanced search (only after clicking advanced search) such that you can click to create. However you could modify the tiddler Open Missing to create new from a template and more.

Regards

I think this from Pmario could be the plugin you are looking for

Birthe, this was exactly the plugin I meant. Thanks!

I also found an alternative approach based on @TonyM's suggestion and that is to customize the search results (https://tiddlywiki.com/#Customising%20search%20results) to also include a link to the literal search term, which can then be clicked to trigger the "create missing tiddler" behavior.
