Hi Jörg, Hi Ingo,

thanks a lot for your work! For example, I really do appreciate the new 
improvement that topicmaps are now sorted in the Topicmap Menu.

I've added five wishes i collected over the last two years to the 
topicmap "06 Search" (https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135).

1 Display context information of search result items
   https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135/topic/76850

2 Filter "By Text" search results by type
   https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135/topic/76875

3 Introduce "By Text" search phrase options as user interface elements
   https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135/topic/76900

4 Include file topics in "By Text" search results (matching their filename)
   https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135/topic/76925

5 Sort of search results by modification or creation date
   https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/54135/topic/76825

If i would need to prioritize these wishes i would say 1 would be the 
most useful, then 4 and 3, then 5 and then 1.

Thanks a ton for making DM4 better!

Kind Regards,

Malte

I made use of colored notes (red an green) to differentiate between "what is not ideal" and "userstory" on how it could be improved. That way I hope facilitate deriving trac tickets.
