Hi, is there a way to make the search function on the main wiki also search inside subwikis? Couldn't find something in the documentation. Thanks in advance, Dennis

Well that's exactly what the default search is doing by default. You then get on the right a filter where you can select which wiki's result you want to keep. On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 4:12 PM, D R <rir.ceg(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Sorry, you are right, but I see a "strange" behavior for the search results popup which is shown while typing. It seems it has to do with the chosen search word or something. I created a subwiki where I have a space named "Testspace" and in there I have a doc "Testpage". Typing "test" in the upper right search box on the main wiki shows "no results found" (or similar, I'm on German language). Typing "testpage" shows the page as a result on the search popup. It's the same when I'm in the test wiki, "test" won't show results, "testpage" shows results. Is there any minimum size of the search word the users have to be aware of? Sorry again if there is a misunderstanding from my side and thanks for feedback in advance. 2014-11-26 16:30 GMT+01:00 Thomas Mortagne <thomas.mortagne(a)xwiki.com>om>:

There is, 3, but that's not the issue here. As long as you get the "No result!" message it means the search was performed but there were no results. And the reason there were no results in your case is because the live search doesn't perform prefix matching by default (for performance reasons). You can enable prefix matching: * either globally: replace '__INPUT__' with '__INPUT__*' in https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi… * or per search suggest source: in the wiki administration, Search Suggest section, query property, add "q=__INPUT__*" on a new line, without the quotes. Hope this helps, Marius

This issue http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10306 is opened to improve the process of enabling prefix matching. On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 11:24 AM, Marius Dumitru Florea <mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com> wrote:
