Question

The Company That Employes Me has an enormous TWiki installation. Performance issues have become a nuisance.

Recently, the admins turned off the "search all public webs' option on page rename. (They say "global searches of all twiki pages run for many minutes and lock up the CPU." ouch).

Sadly, this means they've consciously disabled one of the most useful and powerful tools in TWiki. :-(

Unfortunately, I have just requested a new web and am in the process of (slowly) migrating several hundred pages. I can live with the fact that I can't look for, or update, links in any of the other public webs; they rarely link to our pages. I'll suffer the tiny number of broken links.

However, the inability to easily locate and fix links in NewWeb as well as OldWeb is driving me nuts. OldWeb updates when files move out; NewWeb doesn't update when files move in.

Is there some workaround I can set up, perhaps with a formatted Search, that will help smooth my way?

I do not have server access :-(
