add author/origin info to search results' HTML representation

[FND]

search results can be somewhat confusing because there's no obvious hint as to the respective tiddlers' origin

e.g. http://tiddlyspace.com/search?q=Manifesto%20Review%20201206 currently results in the following:

20120629
Manifesto Review 201206
Manifesto Review 201206
Manifesto Review 201206

I reckon it would be useful if the space/creator/modifier was displayed alongside each tiddler title. Maybe the respective date too. And toys!

In the past this wasn't done because search results are driven by the same code that lists tiddlers from bags and recipes. In those latter context listing space/creator/modifier is fairly redundant.

However, there's no reason why we can't use a different template for showing search results from the one used for generic tiddlers.

What would you want to show (or not) if the tiddler does not belong to a space (i.e a system-wide one)? At the moment it will just show "None".

I suppose the bag would make sense - so instead of "MyTiddler (@MySpace)" it might say "MyTiddler (MyBag)".

@cdent's adjustments (e1eecdd640416e8ddb77c04cb1a5c674da793fc7) seem a like a nice improvement. It essentially looks like this now:

[[TITLE|FRIENDLY_URI]] modified DATE by [[@AUTHOR]] in [[SPACE_OR_BAG]]

However, dates currently look like this: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:36:03 GMT - that pretty much ruins it (noise!), though @cdent already mentioned as much.

Not sure whether using relative times is a great idea though, as it might suggest content is stale when it's merely stable (i.e. don't twitterize it).

As for the "extra verbiage", I don't like the pseudo-sentence structure, preferring "TITLE by AUTHOR in SPACE (DATE)" instead - but I suppose Regular Folks and hipster companies might disagree.

I like the structure that FND recommends. I also think the timeago date format is good for reducing noise. Maybe hovering over the date brings up a tool tip with the extra noise if the user wants (i.e. the dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss z).

I also think, as cdent says, the site icons in place of bullet points would make it look nicer.

It would be good to get some agreement on this, I'm quite happy to make the changes.

There's some stuff written up here http://searchdesign.tiddlyspace.com that Jon Lister and his chums may spend some time looking at and thinking about.
