SID-01235: Boolean search to return list of topics based on categories

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.0.5	Perl version:
Category:	CategorySearch	Server OS:		Last update:	15 years ago

I'm able to generate a list of topics based on one category:

%SEARCH{"CategoryHouse" nosearch="on" nosummary="on"}%

How do I search based on two or more categories (boolean)?

%SEARCH{"CategoryHouse" AND "CategoryAtlanta" nosearch="on" nosummary="on"}%

Discussion and Answer

By the way, for newbies: Don't use the <verbatim> tag in your search code. I added it because I thought this Support forum used TWiki markup, but it looks like it doesn't.

Do a QuerySearch by adding type="query". Example:

%SEARCH{ " text ~ '*CategoryHouse*' AND text ~ '*CategoryAtlanta*' " type="query" nonoise="on" }%=

(On comment box, it escapes %, <, > and a few other characters, which escapes a lot of TML.)
