SID-01999: Searching in the history of the twiki page

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	5.8
Category:	CategorySearch	Server OS:	RH7	Last update:	10 years ago

We have a request on our TWIki to search for something directly in the history of the page. This is for pages that have been edited many times and have many versions. Any ideas?

Discussion and Answer

Search currently only works on the top revision of topics.

It is conceivable to create a plugin that searches also in all topic revisions. I am concerned about performance though.

Depending on what you need it might be better to store historical info in a TWiki form field, such as topic creation time and original author.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
