Question

I'd like to include "ref-by" information on every page on one of my TWiki sites.This would appear as a side bar showing topics.

Formatted search seems to fail for me when included on a page (as well as in a template) as you can see here:

http://www.andypryke.com/pub/SearchTestOne

If I add the line (the "\" characters are to escape it so you can see it in the page)

 \% SEARCH{regex="on" search="\%TOPIC\%" scope="text" nototal="on" nosearch="on" }\% 

to the page, it works, but I'd like to use formatted search so it only shows the topic name.

When I add the "format=..." paramter to the search, like this

 \%SEARCH{regex="on" search="\%TOPIC\%" scope="text" nototal="on" nosearch="on" format="$topic "}\% 

the page isn't displayed correctly in either Opera or IE. In Opera, it appears as the html source, and in IE I get the line

 : text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 f5f 

at the top of the page.

You can see an example of the unformatted search at
http://www.andypryke.com/pub/SearchTestTwo
and the formatted (problematic) one at:
http://www.andypryke.com/pub/SearchTestOne

Couldn't find this as a known problem. My guess is that the HTTP header is being munged somehow...

Any ideas?

Answer

My template was missing the lines:

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
%TMPL:P{"htmldoctype"}%

Adding these as the first two lines solved the problem
