The wiki provides a few input fields that help users to locate pages in the wiki. There are two types of these fields: Search fields and filter fields. They behave differently and it is useful to know their differences.
Title search[edit | edit source]
The most prominent search feature is the search box in the header of the wiki. If a user has not switched to the search center yet, this field simply looks for a page name or display title that contains the exact search term.
The title search does not do a full-text search. You have to switch to the full-text search (=Search center) for that. This can be done by simply pressing the Enter key after entering a search term in the search field.
How the title search works:
- It is not case-sensitive: "qual" or "Qual" return the same results.
- Search results are limited to 10 page titles. This is important to understand to have the right expectations. In most cases, the search field is simply used as a springboard to pages that are known to the user (e.g., to jump to a team page or to the page "Processes" or any other known page the user wants to reach quickly).
- Spelling mistakes will usually not return any results: "Qality" does not return "Quality". Based on the version of your wiki, the search might return suggestions ("You might be looking for....").
- Multiple search terms can be in any order to produce results ("toc download" finds pages just like "download toc").
- Search operators such as
"",OR,ANDre not supported. However, they are supported in the full-text search. - The sort order for the results are based on a combination of best title match and last edit date of the page. (You can find the technical details on the reference page for the extension ExtendedSearch. Some configuration changes are possible if the wiki is hosted on premise. There are no configuration options in Cloud wikis. )
- The search offers a filter (screenshot annotation 1) to search:
- in subpages of the page you are on (if it has subpages)
- in the namespace of the page you are currently on
- in the book of the page you are currently on (if you are in a book)
- in the whole wiki
- A search match shows the following information (screenshot annotation 2)
- Page title
- Below the page title, the namespace prefix of the page. If the result is a subpage, the subpage path is shown next to the namespace prefix.
- If the title match is based on the display title of a page, the original title is shown in parentheses.
- If the page is redirected to a different page, the redirect link is shown with a redirect-arrow in front of the target page title. If the target page has a display title, only the display title of the target page is shown. Otherwise the full path of the target page is shown.
Droplet[edit | edit source]
- not case-sensitive, but search term needs to be at the beginning of a word.
Content filter[edit | edit source]
- not case-sensitive, search term can be anywhere (also within words)
- filter term needs to have at least 3 letters
| Sun | Mon | Tue |
|---|---|---|
| Meat | Lentils | Salad |
| Potatoes | Salad | Meat |
| Soup | Refreshment | Spaghetti |
SMW datatables filter[edit | edit source]
- Page titles need to be filtered with uppercase to be found. ("me" does not find page "Mention")
- Page titles are found even if they are preceded by a special character ("Zwei" finds "-Zwei")
- Lowercase filter considers letters within words and at the beginning of words except for the first letter of the title ("me" finds "Book a meeting" and "Ideenmanagement", but not "Mention")
- Uppercase filter considers letters at the beginning and within words ("Me" finds "Mention", "SMW Media query" and "TestMedium")
