A search for more than one word will find pages that contain all of the words. Use quotation marks to search for a phrase. Also use quotes for text with punctuation or special characters. Searches are case insensitive.
To limit your search to a single group, enter the group name followed by a slash at the beginning of the search string (e.g., "Character/" or "Background/"). To list all pages, enter a slash for the search.
The default search ignores certain pages based on title (SideBar) or group (PmWiki/, Site/). To include these results, add " list=all" to your search.
