SID-02114: Is it possible to search all public webs by default?

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:
Category:	CategorySearch	Server OS:		Last update:	5 years ago

The title says it all - is there such option? I know I can manually edit all the search forms for example like this: https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/TopBarSeachAllWebs

That is not too convenient though. Is there a more user friendly way?

I found this https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SID-00627 but it's quite old.

Thank you.

Discussion and Answer

Default search web scope is not configurable at this time.

If you use the default TopMenuSkin you can change your TWiki.TopMenuSkinTopBar. Change this:

<input type="hidden" name="web" value="%BASEWEB%" />

To this:

<input type="hidden" name="web" value="all" />

Thanks, I know about the TopBar option. I only wondered if there is anything better.

Do you think it would be beneficial to have this? Should I submit a feature request?

This would be a useful enhancement, yes. Feel free to create a feature request. You can give some incentives by hiring a TWiki consultant.
