Search Help

• If you want to search for a semicolon or an exclamation point, escape them with a leading backslash, like \!shampoo
• Example: To search for all topics that contain "SOAP", "WSDL", a literal "web service", but not "shampoo",
  enter this: soap;wsdl;web service;!shampoo

Formatted Searches

You can embed a nicely formatted search in a topic by using the %SEARCH{}% variable described in VarSEARCH. Searches can be of different types; among others, TWiki offers keyword search, regular expression search and a flexible SQL-like query language.
