SID-02213: Searching for author/user

I'm trying to make a table to output search results and created a topic WebSearch containing:

%INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.%TOPIC%"}%

and I get this nice box which will search for attachments and list the user, date and so on. I'd like to know how to limit the search output to a single user. Any help?

Sorry: It was WebSearchAttachments I made from the one on this wiki. -pat

If you want to limit the WebSearchAttachments query to a particular user you need to clone TWiki.WebSearchAttachments in your TWiki and customize the search result.

Look for this:

  $SETLIST(
    afNames,
    $LISTIF(
      $SEARCH(
        %GET{af}%,
        $LOWER($item)
      ),
      $GETLIST(attNames)
    )
  )

And change it to this untested example (using "JohnHuber" as the user) :

  $SETLIST(
    afNames,
    $LISTIF(
      $AND(
        $EXACT(
          $GETHASH(attUsers, $item),
          JohnHuber
        ),
        $SEARCH(
          %GET{af}%,
          $LOWER($item)
        )
      ),
      $GETLIST(attNames)
    )
  )
