http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/GoIsSearch#OneBox

I just created a "onebox" search box. What I did was just four lines of perl code in twiki/bin/search and changing the search box form.

  • added a new paramater to searching "dogobox" if it is non-empty, then the normal search cgi will first check to see if there is a pagename which matches the search, and go there. If not, it performs a normal search.
  • changed the 'go box' to point at the search cgi, and added the hidden paramater "dogobox"="yes"
  • I've attached my modified twiki/bin/search cgi, it's just four lines of code near the bottom, search

 my $doGoBox       = $query->param( "dogobox" ) || "";

# emulate "go" behavior during a search 

if (($doGoBox ne "") && &TWiki::Store::topicExists( $webName, $search ) )  {
 TWiki::redirect( $query, &TWiki::getViewUrl( "", $search ) ); 
}

Scheduled for Dakar, big usability enhancement. The spec needs to be finalized...

-- PeterThoeny - 04 Aug 2004

Postponed to EdinburghRelease as Dakar is now "security and perfomance only" changes.

-- MattWilkie - 06 Dec 2004

If the change is as simple as DavidJeske makes out above, perhaps this should be reconsidered for Dakar?

-- AntonAylward - 28 Jun 2005

sure, i'll be happy to apply any forthcoming patches...

-- WillNorris - 29 Jun 2005

I suggest to defer this to Edinburgh, see reason in TWiki:Codev.GoIsSearch (my note dated 13 Oct 2005)

that's fine with me... i've attached a patch i worked on for this for completness.

Seeing the discussion on Codev, I have created a temporary solution for the Dakar release, to have both a Go box and a Search box, in the left bar. TWiki masters can decide to leave one of these out. SVN 7072.

Undeferred, post Dakar CC

Aged to death.

Besides I do not even agree. If OFTEN want to search for topics in which a topic name is used. And then I want those in the the search result. Not just jump to this page.

I think we have a pretty fine solution right now.

I dare say No action.

And if someone wants it anyway please raise feature proposal first.
