    • Follow the WikiWord link and learn what it is.
    • If you know the name of a topic, you can jump directly to it by typing its name into the Go field on the top of the page. Type WebSearch to jump to the search page. Hint: Do not confuse the Go field with search.

TWiki searches for an exact match; optionally, you can also use RegularExpressions. Note: A search only looks in the current web unless you use the advanced search option.
