Discussion and Answer

You can't limit the search to a section. However, you can:

• Arrange your content into smaller pages, and use VarINCLUDE to compose a bigger document. If you search for content your search scope is the set of smaller pages.
• Search for form fields using QuerySearch, This requires a TWikiForms based application. See for example the extension query by TWiki version in the Plugins home page.
• You can display a certain part of a page if apply a RegularExpression pattern using a $pattern() in a FormattedSearch.
