Recently active topics in PBwiki tagged with search

Make your PBwiki search more effective and more efficient by using search shortcuts.

1) To find pages that contain "brown" but not "cow"
SEARCH: brown -cow

2) To located the exact phrase 'Bay to Breakers'
SEARCH: "Bay to Breakers"

3) Any of the words 'yellow', 'green', or 'blue':
SEARCH: yellow green blue

Also, search results are sorted by weight, which means that a page with a lot of the mention of the keyword will show up at the top of the list.

I want to add a keyword function to my document repository. Is there a way to search a repository by keyword?

Search is like doing a search in quotes on Google?
Unless I am wrong, then this is a hindrance to take up of our business wiki by users. I have just tested v1 & v2. Our problem is that generally we want search results to be weighted:
Exact match (excluding case) (i.e. words appear together and in the same order)
All words appear in title
All words appear in title or text

We can't let Google in as it is a private business wiki and so needs credentials. So am I right, if so, are there any plans to "improve" the search?

The business case is that the WIKI is getting large and users are not finding things quickly, which is reducing the effectiveness and adoption of the WIKI. I had just assumed the search would be Googlesque.

JAC.

google search bar.

When I was using Wiki 1.0....i cut/ pasted the google code into my wiki....and the search worked very well.

Now, Im using 2.0....

the old code works, but if I go and edit a page , it stops working. So, I tried to cut / paste it again into the page....

But, when I save the page, the code disappears, and the search bar doesnt work.

why? what am I doing wrong? Why did it work in 1.0 but not in 2.0?

here is the code:

<form>
<div>
<input name="cx" type="hidden" value="partner-pub-4973622945612281:3g3h7zab6b1" />
<input name="cof" type="hidden" value="FORID:10" />
<input name="ie" type="hidden" value="ISO-8859-1" />
<input name="q" type="text" />
<input name="sa" type="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

I have added tags for my wiki but can't find it using search engines.
What websites can you use to search for wikis?

I was wondering if there was any way to allow searching with a wildcard (e.g. test*) to allow more flexibility with searches.

Also, how does the pbwiki seach handle truncations (e.g. searching for testing while the title is test or tests, and getting those results).

Thanks for your time.

how to search. Can I combine search criteria when searching in my wiki?

I am having problems with my pbwiki - I have searched all over and cannot find any easy ways to find out the answers - or easy help for how to edit the wiki - yes, I've used yummy, wikistyle, advancedwikistyle, etc.....

Anyway, the <view> and <top> things aren't working - what do I do!?

Why isn't this easier!? </top></view>
