Searching for a *link* to a tiddler

[Shay Shaked]

Hello again gang, 

I guess this is just one of these days I have the time to go through my TW and ask tons of questions... This is I believe is a rather simple one though. 

I'm combing through my missing tiddlers and writing them as I go, but here and there I have a tiddlers that were created by mistake, or that I'm not interested in anymore. I would like to find the original tiddler that pointed (and created) the missing tiddler, so I can change the text there. 

For example, 

I created a link to a tiddler "Hedwig" (not camelcase, so I really meant it when I created it probably...), and now it's missing. I have no need for the Hedwig tiddler, but what I want to do first is to find that original article I wrote and change the text (and probably link) so it doesn't point to Hedwig anymore, but to a different Tiddler. How do I search for that? 

Thanks!!!

The "References" tab under the infopanel may help.  (Just select "info" from the Hedwig tiddler's dropdown menu.)

I'd probably still use the TW search to search for "TW" in tiddler text, too.  If nothing else, it might provide a clue as to what you were thinking when that tiddler got created an orphaned.  ;)

Scott, 

Where is this infopanel? Thanks!

I'm sure Scott Simmons gave you an answer that is perfectly usable -- at least, I have no reason to think otherwise.

However, I would like to point out that you can always just use a text editor to open your TW and run a search on "Hedwig".  Of course, you should do this on a copy so there is no risk of hurting anything.

Actually Smandoli, that was a good idea. I viewed source, and my Wiki is still small enough to go through all the HedwigTwo instences (these are the good one) and find the Hedwig one. Lesson learned: I can search for [[Hedwig]] also and I could have found it right away. 

Thanks for that, found it and replaced!

I can't get a screenshot at the moment, but go to the toolbar buttons at the top of the tiddler and click the down arrow to display the dropdown of additional options.  The first item there should be "info," which will open the infopanel within the current tiddler.  It will have a row of tabs.  Switch to "References," and you'll be able to see what tiddlers link to the one you're currently viewing.

(I see you already took care of Hedwig, but — y'know, for posterity!  ;)  )

Wow, that's really useful for even more things! Thanks Scott!
