Other wikis offer search parameters on the URL, so I can send a reader to a fuzzy link (wiki.com?s=keyword) rather than a static one. That could be hard to pull off without a search page to land on, but it would be a handy option.
Here’s what it would look like without a search page (can be ?q or ?s):
Would that work for your use case or is a designated search page needed?
I don’t need the search page, but how would it handle 5 hits?
…and it’d need to accept search phrases (like “advising+updates”) and to work with a custom domain; does that make it too hard?
how would it handle 5 hits?
It would show the 5 pages in the results.
search phrases (like “advising+updates”)
We don’t support that currently, is that intended to search multiple titles or perform multiple search queries?
The custom domain is no issue.
It’s because multiple terms are needed to narrow down the results to the correct page or two in the wiki.
