search="text" (Alternative to above) N/A
web="Name"
web="%USERSWEB%, Know"
web="all"
Comma-separated list of webs to search. You can specifically exclude webs from an all search using a minus sign - for example, web="all,-Secretweb". The special word all means all webs that do not have the NOSEARCHALL variable set to on in their [[Main/WebPreferences]]. Note that [[Main/TWikiAccessControls]] are respected when searching webs; it is much better to use them than NOSEARCHALL. Current web
topic="WebPreferences"
topic="*Bug"
Limit search to topics: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. All topics in a web
excludetopic="Web*"
excludetopic="WebHome, WebChanges"
Exclude topics from search: A topic, a topic with asterisk wildcards, or a list of topics separated by comma. Note this is a list of topic names and must not include web names. None
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 [[Main/RegularExpression]] search like soap;web service;!shampoo; to search on whole words use \bsoap\b
query: [[Main/QuerySearch]] of form fields and other meta-data, like (Firstname='Emma' OR Firstname='John') AND Lastname='Peel'
%SEARCHVAR- DEFAULTTYPE% [[Main/TWikiPreferences]] setting (%SEARCHVARDEFAULTTYPE%)
order="topic"
order="created"
order="modified"
order="editby"
order=
 "formfield(name)"
Sort the results of search by the topic names, topic creation time, last modified time, last editor, or named field of [[Main/TWikiForms]]. The sorting is done web by web; if you want to sort across webs, create a [[Main/FormattedSearch]] table and sort it with [[Main/TablePlugin]]'s initsort. Note that dates are sorted most recent date last (i.e at the bottom of the table). Sort by topic name
limit="all"
limit="16"
Limit the number of results returned. This is done after sorting if order is specified All results
date="..." limits the results to those pages with latest edit time in the given [[Main/TimeSpecifications#TimeIntervals]]. All results
reverse="on" Reverse the direction of the search Ascending search
casesensitive="on" Case sensitive search Ignore case
bookview="on" [[Main/BookView]] search, e.g. show complete topic text Show topic summary
nonoise="on" Shorthand for nosummary="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" zeroresults="off" noheader="on" noempty="on" Off
nosummary="on" Show topic title only Show topic summary
nosearch="on" Suppress search string Show search string
noheader="on" Suppress default search header
Topics: Changed: By: , unless a header is explicitly specified
Show default search header, unless search is inline and a format is specified (Cairo compatibility)
nototal="on" Do not show number of topics found Show number
zeroresults="off" Suppress all output if there are no hits zeroresults="on", displays: "Number of topics: 0"
noempty="on" Suppress results for webs that have no hits. Show webs with no hits
header="..."
format="..."
footer="..."
Custom format results: see [[Main/FormattedSearch]] for usage, variables & examples Results in table
expandvariables="on" Expand variables before applying a [[Main/FormattedSearch]] on a search hit. Useful to show the expanded text, e.g. to show the result of a [[Main/SpreadSheetPlugin]] %CALC{}% instead of the formula Raw text
multiple="on" Multiple hits per topic. Each hit can be [[Main/FormattedSearch]]. The last token is used in case of a regular expression ";" and search Only one hit per topic
nofinalnewline="on" If on, the search variable does not end in a line by itself. Any text continuing immediately after the search variable on the same line will be rendered as part of the table generated by the search, if appropriate. off
recurse="on" Recurse into subwebs, if subwebs are enabled. off
separator=", " Line separator between search hits "$n" (Newline)
newline="%BR%" Line separator within a search hit. Useful if the format="" parameter contains a $pattern() that captures more than one line, i.e. contents of a textfield in a form. "$n" (Newline)
- Example: `%SEARCH{"wiki" web="%USERSWEB%" scope="topic"}%` - Example with format: `%SEARCH{"FAQ" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" header="| *Topic: * | *Summary: * |" format="| $topic | $summary |"}%` _(displays results in a table with header - [[details|Main/FormattedSearch]])_ - %H% Hint: If the TWiki:Plugins.TablePlugin is installed, you may set a `%TABLE{}%` variable just before the `%SEARCH{}%` to alter the output of a search. Example: `%TABLE{ tablewidth="90%" }%` - Related: [[METASEARCH|Main/VarMETASEARCH]], [[TOPICLIST|Main/VarTOPICLIST]], [[WEBLIST|Main/VarWEBLIST]], [[FormattedSearch]], [[QuerySearch]], [[SearchHelp]], [[SearchPatternCookbook]], [[RegularExpression]]
