Search Admin
You can activate this feature through "Admin home > Features > Search"
Then, you can set the search settings under the magnifying lens icon (
), which will lead you to "tiki-admin.php?page=search".Search permissions
give tiki_p_search to the groups that are allowed to search.Search modes
The search can be configured by the administrator as a (a) database search or as a (b) tiki search . Each one has a module and a tiki page that dsiplays the results and a set of settings.- the Module search_box:
It is called "database search". It uses the resources of the database to do the search and indexation. It can be used with or without fulltext capacity. You can see you are running this search if the search page is tiki-searchresults.php. If you enable full-text search, your results will be ordered according to their relevance to the search terms. In a similar way, a user knows it is a full text search because each result has a relevance indicator. - the Module search_new:
It is called the "database independent search" or "tiki search". The search resources are managed by tikiwiki. There is no fulltext capacity in this module. search_new was introduced in Tikiwiki 1.8. You can see you run this search if the search page is tiki-searchindex.php
Both can be used as soon as you check the feature search. You can even set the 2 search boxes.

| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Referer Search Highlighting | Specify if the search results page will highlight the matched words. See Referrer Search Highlighting for details. Note: Selecting this option may negatively affect Tiki search performance. |
| Parse the Result | Specify if Tiki should parse the wiki syntax on the search results page. If not selected, the wiki sytax (code) will be shown. Selecting this option may negatively affect Tiki search performance. This option was introduced in Tiki 2.0 |
| Activate MySQL Full Text Search | If selected, the search uses a full-text database search. If not selected, the database search is primarily an OR search between searched words. The Tikiwiki search will be refreshed automatically. This option was introduced in Tiki 2.0 |
| Ignore individual object permissions | If selected, the database search results will show all matches — even if the user does not have permission to view the specific page. Selecting this option may negatively affect Tiki search performance. |

| Search refresh rate | Specify how often Tikiwiki should refresh the search engine: the bigger is the number, the less often one random object is indexed. At each access to a page of the site, a random number between 1 and the refresh rate is computed . If this number is 1 , a random abject is indexed. Starting with Tiki 2.0, the index is refreshed in real time. Note: This option applies only if the Activate MySQL Full Text Feature is not enabled. |
| Minimum length of search word | Specify the minimum number of characters of the search word. Note: This option applies only if the Activate MySQL Full Text Feature is not enabled. When using the MySQL Full Text Search, you must specify the word length it in the MySQL configuration by using the ft_min_word_len variable. See the MySQL documentation for details. |
