The %s string is a common placeholder for search terms, not something you would enter literally into the address bar. Say you setup a firefox bookmark with name My Wiki, address file: ///D:/TiddlyWiki.html#:[!is[system]search[%s]] and alias wiki. If you then type into the address bar the alias followed by a space then a search term like say wiki personal notes it would then automatically resolve the address and take you to file:///D:/TiddlyWiki.html#:[!is[system]search[personal notes]] .
If you literally type file:///D:/TiddlyWiki.html#:[!is[system]search[%s]] into the address bar it will apparently show a javascript error, if you want to just type directly you would have to actually write file:///D:/TiddlyWiki.html#:[!is[system]search[my search terms]] manually.
