<<|PmWiki.Variables|>>

:$EnablePageListProtect:When set to 1 (which is the default), causes (:pagelist:) and (:searchresults:) to exclude listing any pages for which the browser does not currently have read authorization. Setting this to zero means that read-protected pages can appear in a listing, but can also speed up searches considerably (because page permissions do not need to be checked).

:$EnablePageIndex:When set to 1, causes PmWiki to maintain a "link and word index" in $PageIndexFile which significantly speeds up categories, backlinks, and searches.

:$PageIndexFile:The location of the "page index" file for (:pagelist:), defaults to $WorkDir/.pageindex.

:$SearchPatterns:An array of page name patterns to be required or excluded from search and pagelist results. In order to be included in a search listing or page listing, a page's name must not match any pattern that is delimited by exclamation points (!) and must match all other patterns. See Cookbook:SearchPatterns.

1. Limit all searches to Main group
   $SearchPatterns['default'][] = '/^Main\\./';
2. Exclude the Main group from search results
   $SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^Main\\.!';
3. Exclude RecentChanges pages from search results
   $SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.(All)?RecentChanges$!';

:$PageSearchForm:The page to be used to format search results for ?action=search (unless the current page has a "searchresults" directive in it). This variable can be an array, in which case the first page found from the array is used.

1. Use Search page in current group if it exists, otherwise use Site.Search
   $PageSearchForm = array('$Group.Search', '$[$SiteGroup/Search]');

:$FPLTemplatePageFmt:The pages to be searched for a pagelist template specified by a fmt=#xyz parameter. Defaults to searching Site.LocalTemplates and Site.PageListTemplates, but can be customized to look in other pages.

# Search a Group.Templates page as well as the Site templates
        $FPLTemplatePageFmt = array(
          '{$Group}.Templates',
          '{$SiteGroup}.LocalTemplates',
          '{$SiteGroup}.PageListTemplates');
