---++ Search Pages
|
|
|
|
There are two search pages; WebSearch offers basic search features, while
|
|
WebSearchAdvanced offers more control over searches.
|
|
|
|
By default searches are keyword based like in a typical search engine:
|
|
* Specify word(s) you want to find
|
|
* Multiple words form an *AND* search, =intranet web service= returns all pages that have the three words anywhere in the page
|
|
* Optionally specify plus signs for *AND* search, like =intranet +web +service=
|
|
* Enclose words in double quotes to form a *literal search*, like ="web service"=
|
|
* Specify a minus sign to *exclude* a word, like =soap -shampoo=
|
|
* Use double quotes if you want to search for a leading minus sign, like ="-nowarn"=
|
|
* *Stop words* are excluded from a keyword search:
|
|
* Stop words are common words and characters such as ="how"= and ="where"=, defined in the SEARCHSTOPWORDS setting in the TWikiPreferences
|
|
* If you want to search for a word in the stop word list, prefix the word with a plus sign
|
|
* *Example:* To search for all topics that contain ="SOAP"=, ="WSDL"=, a literal ="web service"=, but not ="shampoo"=,%BR% enter this: =soap +wsdl "web service" -shampoo=
|
|
|
|
Regular expression search searches for a set of regular expression patterns:
|
|
* Patterns are separated by semicolons
|
|
* An AND search is performed for the list of patterns
|
|
* An exclamation point preceeding a pattern indicates an AND NOT search; use it to exclude a pattern, like =!web service=
|
|
* If you want to search for a semicolon or an exclamation point, escape them with a leading backslash, like =\!shampoo=
|
|
* *Example:* To search for all topics that contain ="SOAP"=, ="WSDL"=, a literal ="web service"=, but not ="shampoo"=,%BR% enter this: =soap;wsdl;web service;!shampoo=
|
|
|
|
---++ Formatted Searches
|
|
|
|
You can embed a nicely [[FormattedSearch][formatted search]] in a topic by using the =%<nop>SEARCH{}%= variable described in VarSEARCH.
|
|
|
|
---++ Search Preferences
|
|
|
|
TWikiPreferences defines these search preferences:
|
|
|
|
* =SEARCHDEFAULTTTYPE=: Default search type for search forms which calls the =search= script
|
|
* Currently =%SEARCHDEFAULTTTYPE%=
|
|
* =SEARCHVARDEFAULTTYPE=: Default search type for =%<nop>SEARCH{}= variable
|
|
* Currenty =%SEARCHVARDEFAULTTYPE%=
|
|
* =SEARCHSTOPWORDS=: List of stop words (common words and characters to exclude from a keyword search)
|
|
* Currently =%SEARCHSTOPWORDS%=
|
