Question

Why does Searching embedded in a page not work? WebIndex page works on my new web.

Search page using word with Topic Text under simple works.

When I try to recreate what has been done on Codev by embedding search within a page: i.e. FeatureBrainstorming - all the topics related to FeatureBrainstorming appear. It does not work.

1) I created my own WebForm to default use on this web. 2) Instead of TopicClassification I use ActionType; 3) My value is EnvRequest

The search from the page: SEARCH{ "[A]ctionType.*(
<\/td>|value\=).*[E]nvRequest" casesensitive="on" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on"}

Here is a snippet of the Metadata from the page/topic I want to see pop up:

FIELD{name="ActionType" title="ActionType" value="EnvRequest"}

What am I missing? Appreciate any help. Sincerely, Dave .

I changed the search line to this: SEARCH{"[ActionType.*(
<\/td>|value\=).*[E]nvRequest" casesensitive="on" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on"} --removed the right bracket on the [A] for ActionType and now I am getting more than I want back. What does that mean? Very peculiar syntax???

Appreciate any help David

I changed the searchspec and all is well. Might actually learn a bit of Perl before this is done. Thanks David .
