Question

I want to do a simple search form whose results will be almost identical to the default TWIki Search with no specified format - but I want to add one item, whgich means I want to specify the format.

I haven't found the docs that explain the "default format".

hat format string would I use to precisely replicate the default output from an otherwise format-not-specified search?

Strange, thought that this had been answered somewhere (maybe in Codev), but can't find it now.

Did some experimenting and replaced the standard SEARCH in my local WebChanges by a formatted version. The code for my WebChanges is now:

---+ %MAKETEXT{"[_1] Recent Changes in [_2] Web" args="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="50"}%, <nop>%INCLUDINGWEB%"}% <span style="font-size: 50%">%MAKETEXT{"retrieved at [_1]" args="%DISPLAYTIME{"$hour:$min ($tz)"}%"}%</span>

%SEARCH{".*" web="%INCLUDINGWEB%" type="regex" nosearch="on" noheader="on" order="modified" limit="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="50"}%" reverse="on" format="<div class='patternSearchResult'><div class='twikiTopRow'><div class='twikiLeft'><a href='%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/$web/$topic'><b>$topic</b></a></div><div class='twikiRight twikiSRAuthor'> [[$wikiusername][$wikiname]]</div><div class='twikiRight twikiSRRev'>$percntCALC{\"$IF($rev > 1, r$rev, <span class='twikiNew'>%MAKETEXT{"NEW"}%</span>)\"}$percnt - <a href='%SCRIPTURLPATH{"rdiff"}%/$web/$topic' rel='nofollow'>$date</a>&nbsp;</div><br class='twikiClear' /></div><!--/twikiTopRow--><div class='twikiBottomRow'><div class='twikiSummary twikiGrayText'>$summary</div><!--/twikiSummary--></div><!--/twikiBottomRow--></div><!--/patternSearchResult-->"}%

<strong><em>%MAKETEXT{"See also:"}%</em></strong>
%ICON{rss-small}%
%MAKETEXT{"<a href='[_1]'>RSS feed</a>, recent changes with <a href='[_2]'>50</a>, <a href='[_3]' rel='nofollow'>100</a>, <a href='[_4]' rel='nofollow'>200</a>, <a href='[_5]' rel='nofollow'>500</a>, <a href='[_6]' rel='nofollow'>1000</a> topics, <a href='[_7]' rel='nofollow'>all changes</a>" args="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/WebRss, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%?limit=100, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%?limit=200, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%?limit=500, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%?limit=1000, %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/%INCLUDINGTOPIC%?limit=All"}%

I did this because I had turned off autolinking in a web (set NOAUTOLINK in WebPreferences) and the standard search output doesn't link the AUTHOR entries when autolinking is turned off (probably a bug?)

BTW: The default formatting of search results depends on the skin template search.<nameofskin>.tmpl.
