Question

I'm able to generate nice summary tables of the information in a form if that form is attached to many pages. I use this method:

%SEARCH{ "TopicTitle.*" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="off" nototal="on" format="|$topic|$formfield(foo)|$formfield(bar)|$formfield(baz)|"}%

Works great!

But I would like to move the data from a WebForm attached to the bottom to an inline table. The main reason is it will be much easier for people to update if I make it an %EDITTABLE{}%.

But I cannot get my summary/overview search to work with this inline table...

Can anyone provide any tips on how to update my %SEARCH{}% query? How about an example page (it must exist somewhere on this site!) that takes the Environment table immediately below here, across all topics, and generates a summary of OSes and Plugins or something like that.

Thanks,

Answer

To SEARCH for values in above Environment table you need to apply a RegularExpression pattern search. Here is an example that pulls the last 10 support questions:
