[pmwiki-users] Quick pagename search?

well, I hacked it, but I don't like it. Any hints to make it cleaner 
are welcome.

An input form calls a TitleSearch page where I use the HTTP GET 
variable to form the correct search pattern:

(:input form method=get action={$ScriptUrl}/Site/TitleSearch:)
(:input text name=tsq:)
(:input end:)

And TitleSearch contains:
(:if !equal {$tsq} '':)
(:pagelist name=*{$tsq}*:)
(:ifend:)

Since I didn't know a better way to access GET variables, I added
$FmtPV['$tsq'] = htmlspecialchars($_GET['tsq']);
to config.php. I feel there has to be a cleaner way, any hint?


Besides this, I would prefer a title search with additional 
functionality like in PhpWiki: if there is only one matching page, 
the user should be forwarded directly to this page.

This is a very conventient navigation method - you need little 
keystrokes and mouse clicks if you know a unique part of the 
pagename.

For example, if you have to edit the "DocumentationIndex" repeatedly, 
it could be sufficient to type "oni" in the TitleSearch field. I use 
this all the time in my PhpWiki and wouldn't like to miss it.
