SID-01371: Searching within topic bodies included with INCLUDE

I am using a lot of topic inclusion in one of my webs and have implemented a keyword search to search a selection of topics for a word or phrase entered by the user into an HTML text box. However, I've noticed that the search does not seem to penetrate into text included with INCLUDE -- it seems to only return a topic as a hit when the search string shows up in the title or local body of the topic. Is this a product limitation or is there a search switch I should be using to accomplish this?

Discussion and Answer

TWiki searches on the source text, not on the rendered text. That is why you do not get any hits on included text into other topics.

If you want to search rendered text as seen by the user you can spider your TWiki content with a search engine, such as Google Search Appliance.
