  I have a few questions related to XWiki's builtin
search as well as
 Lucene search:
 1. In Lucene search, what is the query syntax to search for page
 name with wild card. For example , if I try '*Page2' (without
 quotes), there is no hit even on Sandbox.TestPage2. This is almost a
 very basic user expectation : if the user only remembers partial
 name of a page of interest, it should be possible to locate the page
 via the search bar using wildcards. The builtin WebSearch supports
 this functionality. I prefer to use Lucene as the default search
 engine (modified global.vm in skins/colibri) because of the ability
 to search in attachments. 
See

which also references this page:

  2. Is there any syntax to specify match for an
attachment name --
 either in the builtin or in Lucene engine? Say for example, search
 for an attachment '*logo*.png' at any page in any space. I
 understand that this can be achieved via scripting, but it would be
 great if search box provided this feature.
 3. Does either search engine support search for form field values? I
 am a newbie to XWiki  (coming from Foswiki) and therefore am still
 learning the concept of associating forms to pages in XWiki. From an
 end user perspective, if pages can have forms, there should be a way
 to search pages based on value of form field(s).
 Thanks,
 Milind
