Question

Why is formatted search not working?

Here is my search:

SEARCH{"VendorSupportForm[0-9].*" web="Sandbox" regex="on" scope="topic" $nototal="on" nosummary="on" nosearch="on" noheader="on" order="formfield(OS)" format="| $formfield(OS) | [[$topic]] | [[$username]] |" }

This does return the matching topics:

AIX      VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:39?  PaulSue?  
Linux    VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:20?  PaulSue?  
Solaris  VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-20:52?  PaulSue?  
Windows  VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:29?  PaulSue?  
Number of topics: 4

But it doesn't display the topic and username as links!! If I don't use the format statement, then it displays the topic and user correctly as links:

VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-20:52  28 Jul 2003 - 20:52 - NEW  PaulSue  
VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:20  28 Jul 2003 - 21:21 - NEW  PaulSue  
VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:29  28 Jul 2003 - 21:30 - NEW  PaulSue  
VendorSupportForm2003-Jul-28-21:39  28 Jul 2003 - 21:40 - NEW  PaulSue  

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

Answer

You search the Sandbox web, but it is not clear if the search is done in the Sandbox web or some other web. If another web you need to specify the $web in the format; you need to do that for $username as well (or use $wikiusername instead). As in:

format="| $formfield(OS) | [[$web.$topic][$topic]] | $wikiusername |"
