+### <a name="User Settings -- preference vari"></a> User Settings -- preference variables customizable by users
+
+Some of the [[TWikiPreferences]] are explicitly intended to be customized by TWiki users, though a default is provided in [[TWiki.TWikiPreferences|TWiki/TWikiPreferences]], and a site customisation can take place in [[Main.TWikiPreferences|Main/TWikiPreferences]].
+
+Users can customize these variables by assigning them values. Example:
+
+ * Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = off
+
+**The following variables are classified as user settings:**
+
+# <a name="TWiki Installation Error"></a> TWiki Installation Error
+
+Incorrect format of searchformat template (missing sections? There should be 4 %SPLIT% tags)
