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.
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,
