Action:

Search

  • A search for more than one word will find pages that contain all of the words.
  • Use quotation marks to search for a phrase.
  • Also use quotes for text with punctuation or special characters.
  • Searches are case insensitive, but accent sensitive in the default configuration (i.e. 'u' is not the same as 'ù').

  • To limit your search to a single group, enter the group name followed by a slash at the beginning of the search string (e.g., “PmWiki/” or “Site/”).
  • To list all pages, enter a slash (“/”) for the search.
