SID-00133: Search clicked word from hyperlink

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.0.4	Perl version:

I'm using:

%SARCH{"text" web="all"}%

This works well. But I have a table of keywords I want to be searchable when the word is clicked. If I use the code above in a hyperlink it is automatically searched when the topic is viewed rather than when the user clicks the hyperlink.

Is there a way to create hyperlinks on the words and not have the search performed until the user clicks the word? Then either pop a new window with the search results or still have them embedded in the topic?

I've searched high and low and cannot find a way to suppress the search until the user clicks the keyword.

Thanks much!

Click here to search for this word in a new window. Raw code is this

Click here to search for this 
<a href="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/WebSearch?search=word&scope=all&web=all" title='Click to search' target='_blank'>word</a> 
in a new window.

Enrique, if I was a millionaire I would pay someone to fly to you and give you the biggest high five, kiss, hug, whatever!!!!

You are a lifesaver. I have been trying to figure this out for two days solid and obviously my forte is not HTML.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! I seriously cannot thank you enough. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
