An inline search displays a search result within a topic. The idea is to show a list of topics in a Wiki page that meet a certain criteria, for example all reported bugs.

An example application is a simple bug tracking system, where you set the Topic Classification of a topic to BugReport, BugAssigned or BugResolved using the category feature of TWiki. The BugReport page shows the list of reported bugs, which can be realized with the proposed inline search feature.

Proposed syntax:

%SEARCH{"string" web="Main" scope="topic" ...}%

It is composed of the search string, followed by optional name="value" pairs:

The syntax of the %INCLUDE% variable needs to be changed to conform to the syntax of the inline search variable:

• Old: %INCLUDE:"file"%     (can be used for compatibility)
• New: %INCLUDE{"file"}%
