For the 2nd part, wrap the lookup macro with a list that uses a minlength
operator:
<$list filter="[{$:/temp/mysearch}minlength[2]limit[1]]"
emptyMessage="Input length too short">
<$macrocall $name="list-links" filter={{$:/temp/searchfilter}} />
@@.fourcolumns
<div class="tc-table-of-contents">
<<toc-selective-expandable 'INDEX' sort[title]>>
</div>
@@
</$list>
Notice that I added in </div> . It wasn't there in your example code. All
tags must match in TW5 code. I also changed the search to $:/temp/mysearch
, so be sure to change that to whatever you decided to use.
You can change the number in minlength[2] to minlength[3] or whatever works
for you.
