However, there are some situations where that is a nuisance; for example, where pages are listed using a map directive. The newpage plugin enables one to simply type the name of the new page, click the "create" button, and one is then taken to the standard IkiWiki create-page form. + +[[plugins/contrib/jssearchfield]]: This plugin provides the [[plugins/contrib/ikiwiki/directive/jssearchfield]] directive. This +enables one to search the structured data ("field" values) of multiple pages. +This uses Javascript for the searching, which means that the entire thing +is self-contained and does not require a server or CGI access, unlike +the default IkiWiki search. This means that it can be used in places such +as ebook readers. The disadvantage is that because Javascript runs +in the browser, the searching is only as fast as the machine your browser +is running on. + +Because this uses Javascript, the htmlscrubber must be turned off for any page where the directive is used. + +This plugin depends on the [[!iki plugins/contrib/field]] plugin. + +--[[KathrynAndersen]] |
