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
