[pmwiki-users] Recent Changes Button Lost

[Dr Fred C]

It may be different on other wiki versions, but with v 2.1.27

     * [[ Documents.Search | Search ]] creates a Search? request for a new wiki page called Search -- not what is desired.

     * [[ Site.Search | Search ]] creates a link to the Site.Search Page with the appropriate box to create a search with description about the search process.  I believe this page will only open for admins.  At least that's how it works in 2.1.27.  Perhaps some of these Site pages got moved to a non-admin group of Documents in later PMWiki versions? This would seem to make sense.

Also, if you just want an search box to be displayed somewhere in your Wiki, just copy and paste the search commands from the Search Page to the location and page of your choice. 

(:searchbox:) (:searchresults:)
