SearchKeepTiddlersPlugin for TiddlyWiki

This is a plugin for  TiddlyWiki. It preserves the current open tiddlers and opens matching tiddlers on top of them, so that you don't have to re-open all needed tiddlers after searching for something.

The plugin just overwrites the original search function and removes the call to this.closeAllTiddlers().

Installation

Create a new empty tiddler, copy the code below into the textarea, give it a name, e.g. SearchKeepTiddlersPlugin and add the following tag: systemConfig. The latter is the most important part, because it tells TiddlyWiki that this specific tiddler is a plugin.

Save the tiddler, save the Wiki and reload it. From now on if you search for something, all open tiddlers will remain open.
