Jermolene 2261fd4b84 Merge the dev material back into the main tw5.com wiki
It was getting a pain to manage the content in separate places, and I
suspect confusing for end users.

I think the best time to move the dev content out is when we’ve
established the community wiki for TW5, which is a much more natural
home for it.

In the meantime, a feature that I’m interested in exploring is the
ability to hide tiddlers from the UI based on tag. Then the tw5.com
wiki could disable all tiddlers tagged ‘dev’ until explicitly
overridden by the user.

title: LazyLoadingMechanism
TiddlyWiki5 currently only implements lazy loading when its running in the browser talking to a TiddlyWeb-compatible server. When it syncs, it first requests a "skinny" version of each tiddler (consisting of all the fields apart from the text field). Subsequently, an attempt to read those skinny tiddlers with `wiki.getTiddler()` returns just the skinny fields, but an attempt to read one using `wiki.getTiddlerText()` will trigger an asynchronous load of the full tiddler text, which in turn triggers a refresh cycle, updating the display to reflect the newly loaded tiddler. Widgets that loop through all tiddlers are fine; it's only if they trigger `wiki.getTiddlerText()` for a tiddler that it will get loaded.
So, the browser-based search built into TiddlyWiki5 will only search the text of tiddlers that have been fully loaded. The expectation is that when lazy loading is used in a client-server configuration, then it's the server that really needs to handle search operations, because it's only the server that can "see" the text of all tiddlers. So, the plan is to integrate TW's built in search with TiddlyWeb's search API. The simplest approach is that any local search triggers an asynchronous server side search. The results of the search would be asynchronously loaded such that they would dynamically appear in the local search results.
