[TW5] Hide image tiddlers fitles from search

[Shaked Pesach]

Hi,

I can't be the first one to deal with it, but i couldn't find anything on it so i'm asking here:
Is there a way to hide certain tiddlers from search?

I'm adding a lot of images tiddlers and it really messing up my search reaults... if i could hide all the images tiddlers type or add some custom tag to all the tiddlers i don't want to show in search reault, that will be great

Hello SP,

Tiddlers with names that start with $:/ are hidden from search and classified "system" tiddlers.

I place all of my stylesheets, images, etc. under:

$:/.dm/images/.....
$:/.dm/styles/....
etc...

You could try a filter in the "Advanced Search/Filter" tab, e.g.:

[search[Jack]!type[image/jpeg]]

This will find all tiddlers containing "Jack" in https://tiddlywiki.com/, except the tiddler "Motovun Jack.jpg" (because it's type is "image/jpeg").

Cheers,

Stef

Diego, thank you for this solution.

If only i knew it in first place... now i have to change all my picture tiddler and also change all the other tiddler that links to them.

I still hope to find a solution which doesn't include changing tiddler names.

Stef, i'm rather not using the advanced search. I'm looking for a way to filter the quick search, directly from main page.

Found this solution that works for me:

edit  tiddler $:/core/ui/DefaultSearchResultList

and add a filter for title results and content results. for example:

\define searchResultList()

//<small>{{$:/language/Search/Matches/Title}}</small>//

 

<$list filter="[!is[system]!suffix[.png]!suffix[.jpg]!suffix[.jpeg]!suffix[.PNG]!suffix[.JPG]!suffix[.JPEG]search:title{$(searchTiddler)$}sort[title]limit[250]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

 

//<small>{{$:/language/Search/Matches/All}}</small>//

 

<$list filter="[!is[system]!suffix[.png]!suffix[.jpg]!suffix[.jpeg]!suffix[.PNG]!suffix[.JPG]!suffix[.JPEG]search{$(searchTiddler)$}sort[title]limit[250]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

 

\end

<<searchResultList>>

You can use regexp:type[^image] in your filter rather than look at each type (.jpg, jpeg, png, ) .

The problem with modifying core is that the search will not upgrade the next time you upgrade TW. So, if there's any improvements in search, you won't get them. You will need to delete $:/core/ui/DefaultSearchResultList, do the upgrade, and then apply your changes again.

Good luck,
