Google Search
Google seems to reindex twiki.org at least once every two weeks and perhaps as often as once a week, and I am no longer attempting to check regularly. See Notes on Google Search, below.
TWiki Searches
Search in Wikilearn Web
Other search options:

- If you already know the name of the topic, enter the name of the topic into the Jump box at the top
- List all topics in the Wikilearn web in alphabetical order
- List topics that start with the letter: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

Notes on Google Search
This was an experiment that I've now decided to leave in place. The discussion and notes that were here have been deleted (with a few exceptions, below) but are available in r1.26 of this page.
- The TWiki searches are "real time" (occur when you request a search). Google searches are based on an index that is updated only periodically (currently as often as once a week). If you want to search for recently added information, use a TWiki search.
- Google indexes twiki.org as both twiki.org and as twiki.sourceforge.net. The indexing cycles (dates) and indexing criteria may be slightly different.
- Google doesn't support (AFAIKSF) limiting the search to the page name (topic) or body only. The TWiki searches work well for that.
- Google doesn't support stemming / wild cards (can't search for mangl or mangl* to find mangle, mangling, or whatever). The TWiki searches work that way by default, and the advanced search can use regular expressions.
