Question

At my workplace we're looking into the feasiblity of using TWikiForms to help categorize our content. I know that it's possible to construct simple search pages that list all pages with any given classification, like for instance
SupportStatus = AskedQuestions .

However, how can I search for several Form values at the same time, like for instance
SupportStatus = AskedQuestions AND ServerOS = RedHat7 ?

• TWiki version: Dec 2001
• Perl version: 5.6.1
• Web server & version: Apache 1.3
• Server OS: Linux RedHat 7
• Web browser & version: IE6
• Client OS: WInNT4SP3

Answer

Use the AND search, new in TWikiRelease01Feb2003 or patch your existing TWiki (see Codev.SearchWithAnd Codev.CategorySearchForm.

For example, in a regular expression search do this search using ";" separator:

"META\:FIELD.*?name=\"SupportStatus\".*?\"AskedQuestions\";META\:FIELD.*?name=\"ServerOS\".*?\"RedHat7\""

Thank you for the quick response! Now I see that it wasn't just something that I had overlooked; my version of TWiki doesn't support it. I'll look into either patching or upgrading. Thanks!
