%SEARCH{"text" ...}%
Parameter: | Description: | Default: |
---|---|---|
separator=", " | Line separator between search hits | "$n" (Newline) |
newline="%BR%" | Line separator within a search hit. Useful if you want to put multi-line content into a table cell, for example if the format="" parameter contains a $pattern() that captures more than one line, or contains a $formfield() that returns a multi-line textfield. | "$n" (Newline) |
scope="topic" scope="text" scope="all" | Search topic name (title); the text (body) of topic; or all (title and body) | "text" |
type="keyword" type="word" type="literal" type="regex" type="query" | Control how the search is performed when scope="text" or scope="all" keyword : use Google-like controls as in soap "web service" -shampoo ; searches word parts: using the example, topics with "soapsuds" will be found as well, but topics with "shampoos" will be excluded word : identical to keyword but searches whole words: topics with "soapsuds" will not be found, and topics with "shampoos" will not be excluded literal : search for the exact string, like web service regex : use a RegularExpression search like soap;web service;!shampoo ; to search on whole words use \bsoap\b query : query search of form fields and other meta-data, like (Firstname='Emma' OR Firstname='John') AND Lastname='Peel' | %SEARCHVAR- DEFAULTTYPE% preferences setting (literal) |
limit="all" limit="16" | Limit the number of results returned. This is done after sorting if order is specified | All results |

Note that TWikiAccessControls are respected when searching webs; it is much better to use them than NOSEARCHALL . | Current web |
casesensitive="on" | Case sensitive search | Ignore case |
search="text" | (Alternative to above) | N/A |
headingoffset="2" | Adjust the level of headings in text of topics found, taking effect in $text and $pattern() of a FormattedSearch.

multiple="on" | Multiple hits per topic. Each hit can be formatted. The last token is used in case of a regular expression ";" and search | Only one hit per topic |
