Embed a search into a tiddler

[Reenen]

hi... How do I create a macro that returns a search for a specific
word, specifically, Todo:, as I want to populate my Todo tiddler with
everything I wrote there, and whereever I wrote "Todo" in the wiki
(case insensitive if possible)

> How do I create a macro that returns a search for a specific word

I vaguely remember there was a thread about pre-populating / filtering a
search request, and I think I created a simple script for that -
however, all I could find was this:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/t/3d7ef3a4c5001ee4
(A more thorough search of the archives should unearth more resources.)

Also, this might be of interest:

FWIW, you could also manually assign tags and use the Tag or Tagging
macro to display the respective tiddlers:

Another option is the ForEachTiddlerPlugin*:
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.text.contains("foo")'
>>

How do I make the search case insensitive?

Try this:
where 'tiddler.text.toLowerCase().contains("foo")'

Cool thanks!

I was looking for something like this, but with a little "twist", is
there a way to search for a word and a specific tag at the same time?
In explanation, I usually write the name of whoever I talk to about
something, and I tag my tiddlers by type of work (Maintenance,
OfficeSupplies, Personnel...) and status (Done, ToDo, InProgress).
When I call a certain person, it would be great to search for whatever
is ToDo or InProgress, that concerns that person, but I don't care for
what is Done already. Is that possible, or am I pushing this too far?

Thanks in advance,
Eli

Yes; try the following:
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.tags.contains("foo") &&
tiddler.text.contains("bar")'
>>
This should give you all tiddlers with the tag "foo" and the term "bar"
in the tiddler contents.

Take a look at the FET macro's documentation - the possibilities are
almost endless...

To implement a search/replace fctn while editing, have a look at
Eric's QuickEdit tools: http://www.tiddlytools.com/#QuickEditPackage
there are sort & replace utils for in-tiddler usage.

Also with SearchOptionsPlugin it's easy to have a 'see also' link
somewhere in a tiddler, which opens a popup with the results of a
search of its containing tiddler's title - by default in other titles
+ texts + tags + fields + shadows. Take a look at the 'goto' toolbar
command at TiddlyTools for an example how this is implemented there:

The more I use it, the more I love it! I could have never suceeded in
my new job without my Wiki. Now, discovering this group has really
taken this to a new dimension!
Thank you for your answers, I'm sure I'll be back with new questions,
since every day I discover new ways for my Wiki to make my life
easier!
You are all fantastic!

This suggestion works perfect for me, but I keep asking more out of my
wiki. Is there a way for it to ask for the word to search for? That
is, I always search for TODO and INPROGRESS tags, but on the tiddler
text I am looking for "someone"; right now I made a tiddler for each
person I could think of, but it would be much easier if I could just
type-in the one I am looking for (like in a search box, or a pop-up,
or whatever)
Thanks in advance!

I would use YourSearchPlugin:

I believe the GoToPlugin is what you are describing. View a tiddler by
typing its title and pressing enter. As you type, a list of possible
matches is displayed.

I use the goto plugin as follows in my SideBar

Contact     :<<gotoTiddler search filter:".contact">>

Thus it will only list as I type those with tiddlers tagged ".contact", the search option allows me to search the text of all contacts if it is not found in the titles.

I also Tag tiddlers with a contact name. I can then goto the contact and see all the tiddlers tagged with the contact using tagglyTagging.

If you type the contact name (as a WikiWord) eg [[Tony Me]] in the tiddlers text you can go to the contact tiddler "Tony Me" and use the menu option to look at references and find all tiddlers in which "Tony Me" was mentioned.

Too Many Choices Eh...
