Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Look for example at the raw text of the AskedQuestions topic, it searches for all form fields named SupportStatus with value AskedQuestions. Here is the source:

%<nop>SEARCH{ "[S]upportStatus.*value\=.*[A]skedQuestions" casesensitive="on" regex="on" nosearch="on" noheader="on" order="modified" format="%SUPPORT_SEARCH_FORMAT%" }%

Please read the details in VarSEARCH and FormattedSearch.

Also have a look at SearchPatternCookbook which covers this and similar use cases.
