By default searches are keyword based like in a typical search engine:
|
|
colas@0
|
13 |
* Specify word(s) you want to find
|
|
colas@0
|
14 |
* Multiple words form an *AND* search, =intranet web service= returns all pages that have the three words anywhere in the page
|
|
colas@0
|
15 |
* Optionally specify plus signs for *AND* search, like =intranet +web +service=
|
|
colas@0
|
16 |
* Enclose words in double quotes to form a *literal search*, like ="web service"=
|
|
colas@0
|
17 |
* Specify a minus sign to *exclude* a word, like =soap -shampoo=
|
|
colas@0
|
18 |
* Use double quotes if you want to search for a leading minus sign, like ="-nowarn"=
|
|
colas@0
|
19 |
* *Stop words* are excluded from a keyword search:
|
|
colas@0
|
20 |
* Stop words are common words and characters such as ="how"= and ="where"=, defined in the SEARCHSTOPWORDS setting in the TWikiPreferences
|
|
colas@0
|
21 |
* If you want to search for a word in the stop word list, prefix the word with a plus sign
|
|
colas@0
|
22 |
* *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:
|
|
colas@0
|
25 |
* Patterns are separated by semicolons
|
|
colas@0
|
26 |
* An AND search is performed for the list of patterns
|
|
colas@0
|
27 |
* An exclamation point preceeding a pattern indicates an AND NOT search; use it to exclude a pattern, like =!web service=
|
|
colas@0
|
28 |
* If you want to search for a semicolon or an exclamation point, escape them with a leading backslash, like =\!shampoo=
|
|
colas@0
|
29 |
* *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=
