Question

I found myself, from time to time, in the need to extract all the occurrences within the same topic that match the search criteria instead of the normal behavior of extracting a single occurrence per topic that match the search criteria, I wonder if someone got have had this need and got around it.

Depending on the feedback obtained, I will eventually post -or not- this request in the Codev web, suggesting that a parameter multiple=on in the search variable will do the trick for this need and – if it is not difficult to implement- it could be included in the BeijingRelease.

See Codev.FormattedSearchinTopics for a patch which does this.

I just took a look at the solution shown in Codev.FormattedSearchinTopics and looks very very good.
