Foswiki Search

Query Syntax

• To search for a word, just put that word into the Search box.
• To search for a phrase, put the phrase in "double quotes".
• Use the + and - operators, just as in Google query syntax, to indicate required and forbidden terms, respectively.
• To search on metadata, prefix the search term with field: where <field> is the field name in the metadata (for instance, author).

Query Examples

• text:kino or just kino
• text:"search engine" or just "search engine"
• author:WikiGuest to search for a wiki author, use their WikiName
• form:WebFormName to get all topics with that form attached.
• type:doc to get all attachments of given type
• web:Sandbox to get all the topics in a given web
• topic:WebHome to get all the topics of a given name
• +web:Sandbox +topic:Test to get all the topics containing "Test" in their titles and belonging to the Sandbox web.

Note: the current version of KinoSearch does not support wildcards.
