I've been trying without success to get the following example formatted search to work:
%SEARCH{ "[T]opicClassification.*?value=\"[P]ublicFAQ\"" ...
basically I get the header displayed but no hits come back. The following variation works okay:
%SEARCH{ "[T]opicClassification" ...
So it is the evaluation part that is failing for some reason.
Grateful for any ideas why this might be...

Discussion and Answer
Above search works if you have a
type="regex"
(regular expression search) and if you have a
TWiki form attached to your pages that has a form field called "TopicClassification". What in a topic are you trying to query?

Thanks for getting back. I do have the type="regex" set. Full inline search I am using is the same as the example in
FormattedSearch under heading "Table showing form field values of topics with a form". I have set up a form with the fields
TopicClassification,
OsVersion and
OperatingSystem. The example doesn't specify the topic to be queried hence I figured it crawls all topics that feature the form with these fields in it.

Not sure why you do not get any hits if you have topics in the web that have the form attached. Is "TopicClassification" field of type "select"?

Yes it is. Have looked at the How to Create a TWiki Application example and implemented that. The example suggests the following for implementing a report on
ContactDB:
%SEARCH{ "form.name='ContactForm'" type="query" format="| $topic | $formfield(Salutation) | $formfield(Name) |" }%
However, when I do this I get the following result:
form.name='ContactForm'
The following search returns the expected results:
%SEARCH{ "Salutation" scope="text" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="| $topic | $formfield(Salutation) | $formfield(Name) |" }%
Hence, again, it seems to me that it is the evaluation part that is falling over.
