Question

If a topic has been renamed from say TestTopica to TestTopicb

There is a history of this in the meta data of the new file.

I would like to make a list of all renamed topics in a web in order to help users find the file. Can someone suggest a method

Hm, maybe SearchPatternCookbook#Pattern_9_Search_all_topics_that helps

On TWiki 4.2 you could use the new query search

%SEARCH{"moved" type="query" nosearch="on" noheader="on" nosummary="on" }%

I just don't know how to format the results properly yet.

Hi Franz

Thanks I didnt see that one. I'm trying the following but the pattern does not want to work. Any ideas

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICMOVED.*" type="regex" nonoise="on" header="| *User:* | *From:* | *To:* |  *Date*: |"  format="| $wikiusername | $pattern=(^.*? from=(.*?) to=.*) | [[$topic]] | $date |" }%

I fear pattern doesn't support meta content properly (and you have (at least) one = too much ), but I'm not sure. Hope that there will be a simple format parameter for accessing all kind of meta content in the light of the query search, which is great by the way.

In the light of the new QuerySearch I propose to enhance the format parameter of SEARCH for TWiki 4.3 by the following 'fields':

• $attachments.(name, attr, path, size, user, rev, date, comment )
• $info.(author, date, format, version)
• $parent.(name)
• $moved.(by, date, from, to)
• ...

You can search for meta data such as META:MOVED, but you can't get at meta data to format the result.
