Question

I was thinking it would be nice to have a list of all the attachments within a particular web. Is there a way I could do a FormattedSearch that would produce a list of attachments from within a web?

Answer

This is currently not possible for two reasons. FormattedSearch only finds one hit per topic (there are plans for a multihit switch); FormattedSearch cannot query meta data except form fields.

I'm reopening this question because I'm sure this can be done somehow and I would like to know how. This is no uncommon request in intranet environments where TWiki is often used only for document management purposes.

Maybe this should be a FeatureEnhancementRequest

We are now half way there, a multiple="on" switch is now available in recent TWikiBetaReleases. Formatting meta data other then forms is not yet possible. So yes, that would be an FeatureEnhancementRequest.
