title: TiddlerFilters

Filters are used in TiddlyWiki to choose tiddlers by specifying simple match criteria.
! Examples

* ''prefix'': tests whether a tiddlers title starts with the prefix specified in the operand
* ''limit'': limits the number of subresults to the integer specified in the operand
* ''tag'': tests whether a given tag is (`[tag[mytag]]`) or is not (`[!tag[mytag]]`) present on the tiddler
* ''{field}:'': tests whether a tiddler field has a specified value (`[modifier:[Jeremy]]`) or not (`[!modifier:[Jeremy]]`)
* ''{field}'': tests whether a tiddler field has a specified value (`[modifier[Jeremy]]`) or not (`[!modifier[Jeremy]]`)
* ''tags'': selects the tags on the currently selected tiddlers
* ''tagging'': selects the tiddlers tagged with the currently selected tiddlers
* ''untagged'': selects the any of the selected tiddlers that do not have at least one tag

! Regular Expression Filters
The field-filter also accepts regular expressions in the form `/regexp/modifier`. Please refer to you favourite JavaScript documentation to learn more about regular expressions and modifiers.
In the easiest form, regular expressions allow you do do a search on substrings for every field:
* `title:[/example/]`: searches for all tiddlers having "example" in its title.
* `title:[/example$/]`: `$`is an "anchor" for the end of the text. So "example" has to be the end of the title.
* `text:[/jeremy|ruston/i]`: Searches for tiddlers containing Jeremy's first or last name, ignoring the case.
! Runs
Operators are combined into runs that function as logically ANDed expressions by bashing them together and merging the square brackets:
