New Plugin (BETA) - Full Text Search

[Rob Hoelz]

Hello TiddlyWiki users!

I wrote my first plugin for TiddlyWiki a while back, and after putting it through its paces I felt it was finally time to share it with the world.  I present...the Full Text Search plugin!

https://hoelz.ro/files/fts.html

The purpose of this plugin is to rank search results via relevance, as well as to ignore different word forms (so searching for "tag", "tags", and "tagging" will all match each other).  Included as a dependency
is a progress bar widget I wrote for the FTS plugin.

If this sounds helpful to you, please try it out - feedback would be most welcome!

PS. For Developers - one thing I decided to try halfway through writing this plugin was to use TypeScript instead of plain JavaScript - if other developers are interested in hearing how this went, just let me know and I'll write up a post to summarize my experiences.

Hi Rob,

I have tried it and i really like it.

A few thoughts

1) could it be used like a filter? The first 10 results of a search (for example "tiddler") 

2) if it could be used as a filter, then the search could be used with Marios bundles

Hi Alex!

I'm glad you like the plugin!  I should probably have mentioned this, but the plugin includes an ftsearch filter, which works pretty much like the regular search filter.  I'll add some documentation for that in the future.

Hi Rob, 

I have been using this and it is really helpful. Thank you! I'm looking to use this in a wiki for users not familiar with tiddlywiki. I'm trying to format the search results as an html list - it currently generates as a block with no spaces between the results. Is there a way to change this? 

Thanks very much.

Hi Emily,

I'm glad you find this plugin helpful!  I'd be happy to help you with the search result formatting; is this something you see in the regular search results tab on the sidebar, in advanced search, or when using your own filter invoking ftsearch?
