Comments & Questions about this Distribution Document Topic

Have a look at NatSearch, the combined search&jump facility of NatSkin. NatSearch overcomes one of the most often diagnosed usability problems of TWiki, that is two input boxes to offer retrieval functionality to the user. It should only be one. That's what NatSearch offers: it does all of what the GoBox does; it's a google like search box (with +/- term search) ... and more. For example, you can plugin renderer for search hits on a TWikiApplication level.

Give it a try at the WikiRing.
