SID-00841: Modifying the search functionality

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.0.4	Perl version:	5
Category:	CategorySearch	Server OS:	Debian	Last update:	15 years ago

Hello,

I'm a new TWiki user and for the purposes of my project, I would need to tweek (no pun intended) the search capability that comes with TWiki in order to better suit my purposes. I am aware that TWiki is written in perl and so I would need to edit the perl files I am hosting that come with TWiki. Is this the correct way, and if so, where may I find these files? Thank you in advance.

Discussion and Answer

You did not specify what kind of modifications you need. Perhaps you can do all you need with a custom search page that has a %SEARCH{...}% embedded in it. For inspiration, see WebSearch.

There are also other Extensions:search integrations, such as the SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
