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., “PmWiki/” or “Site/”).
To list all pages, enter a slash for the search.
