Question

Hi, I have a question about general searching from twiki. It seemed to me, that there are two ways:

1. through /bin/search cgi script and
2. through /bin/view/MyWeb/WebSearch(Advance)?search=value&all other params

Is this correct and when yes, why are there this two ways? Is this only a historical thing, so that for today the /bin/search is not nessescary anymore and could/should be removed? Or is there any good reason (e.g. speed or something like this) to use two similar working functions? If I get it right from the source, both will use at least the same search modules from /lib/TWiki/...

Hope someone will answer this, becasue I am really bemused about this.

Thanx, Tom

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

This is historical, the search script and the WebSearch / WebSearchAdvanced topics call the same search code. We are still removing dependencies on the search script. At some point we can deprecate it.
