limit @help's search to relevant spaces

[FND]

@help currently serves as a sort of frontpage for the various documentation spaces (@docs, @Faq, @glossary, @blog) - so when being prompted to search for something, I would expect the search to be limited to those spaces.

As far as I'm aware, this can be done using /search by specifying bag:help_public and so on in the query string but the same does not with for /hsearch, which is what the help space uses.

It does sort of work but you need to be fairly explicit:

• http://tiddlyspace.com/hsearch?q=bag:fnd_public%20AND%20tag:@pads
• http://tiddlyspace.com/hsearch?q=bag:cdent_public%20AND%20tag:@pads

So this ought to be possible:

• http://tiddlyspace.com/hsearch?q=(bag:%22help_public%22%20OR%20bag:%22docs_public%22)%20AND%20delete

but if you look at that it is not quite right, as the tokenizer for the bag field is treating the bag name as TEXT, so foo-help_public matches. Fixing that requires changing the schema, which probably ought to be done (as a fix on tiddlywebplugins.whoosher.

Anyway: this is a fine idea but isn't immediately straightforward to do. At the moment the help space is a hack thrown together to have something (anything) present as a placeholder.

• the content is not part of the tiddlyspace distribution
• the content is not in a repo (as a tsapp or whatever)
• in order for the search to be restricted a form submit event handler will need to be in place to modify the query string appropriately before a request is sent to the server
