I was trying to find a certain tiddler with a known tag ("MyControls") and a specific word ("complete") in the text of the tiddler.

I thought, hey that should be easy peasy - just put that into the filter tab search bar in the advanced search.

Only thing is I can't figure it out

if I do this:
[tag[MyControls]]


That nicely returns a list of all tiddlers with that tag

but I tried these to no avail:
[tag[MyControls]has[complete]]
[tag[MyControls]contains[complete]]

and also variations of
[tag[MyControls]text:contains[complete]]


What am I missing?

Thanks,

Dave,

Did you try contains:text[complete] which I would have thought was the default but that is not stated at https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/index.html#contains%20Operator

Untested by me

Tony's answer should work for your case. 

An alternative approach would be search:text[complete].  This would look for fragments of text as well, such as "mission-complete", "completer" , "complete-collapse" which may or may not be a good thing.

Yes, thank you, that works :)

Both of these work

[tag[MyControls]contains:text[complete]]

[tag[MyControls]search:text[complete]]
