Formatted Search with Separator Parameter

A new separator parameter has been added to %SEARCH{}%. Spec:

Parameter: Description: Default:
separator=", " Line separator between hits Newline "$n"

See doc in TWikiVariables and FormattedSearch.

This feature is useful for FormattedSearch in many areas. Examples:

  • Embed a search result in a TWiki table cell: Use separator=" "
  • Build DynamicFormOptionDefinitions: Use separator=", "
  • Build a select list from a list of tokens: Use separator="</option> <option>"

Background: SvenDowideit supplied a patch for a new nolinefeed parameter in DynamicFormOptionDefinitions. Although useful, the separator parameter is more flexible and makes it consistent with other variables like %TOPICLIST{}% and %WEBLIST{}%.

Sounds like a good idea.

I am currently working on the implementation of this feature, together with MultipleSearchesInSameTopic

This is now in TWikiAlphaRelease and at TWiki.org.

Please help in testing it out. FormattedSearchFormTesting is one way of doing it.
