Question

I want to narrow a search to the members of a particular topic "tree".

TreePlugin can scan a topic "tree" - parents and children descending from one topic. I want to run a search against that tree, using a form (ala the Advanced Search).

<form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH%/search%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%INTURLENCODE{"%INCLUDINGWEB%"}%/">
...

Is this possible? Can I hand appropriate values to the search command?

Our webs are huge. Making a subweb is infeasible; too many links will break (Support.NameSpaceIssuesWithNestedWebs). Searching content within "our" pages is difficult.

HELP?

I can't think of a way to do this currently :/ as I presume you don't just want to search the topic set that has a direct parent, but all their children too. I wonder if DBCachePlugin might help you though.

The version of TreePlugin that allows setting a delimter will do this for me, but that functionality isn't (yet) part of the standard TreePlugin distribution :-(

The latest version of TreePlugin has a separator parameter that allows you to do this:

%SEARCH{search="junk" web="Foo" topic="%TREEVIEW{web="Foo" topic="GrandParent" format="$topic" nodiv="1" separator=", "}%"}%
