A search for more than one word will find pages that contain all of the words. Use quotation marks to search for a phrase. Also use quotes for text with punctuation or special characters.
To limit your search to a single group, enter the group name followed by a slash at the beginning of the search string (e.g., "PmWiki/" or "Main/"). To list all pages, enter a slash for the search.
Search examples
| Enter | To find pages containing |
| apple pie | both 'apple' and 'pie' |
| "apple pie" | the phrase 'apple pie' |
| pmwiki/apple | 'apple' in the PmWiki group |
| "pmwiki/apple" | the phrase 'pmwiki/apple' in all groups |
| apple -pie | 'apple', omitting those containing 'pie' |
| food -"apple pie" | 'food', omitting those containing 'apple pie' |
| apple "-pie" | the words 'apple' and '-pie' |
| apple - pie | 'apple', '-', and 'pie' |
| "pie:" | the word 'pie' with a colon |
| "pie=tasty" | the phrase 'pie=tasty' |
Some special characters need to be enclosed in quotes, including the colon (:), equals sign (=), single quote (') and double quote(").
For advanced searches, PageLists parameters (count, group, fmt, link, list, order, and trail) can be entered together with the search string.
