Item14100: Bad search attribute in Consultants app

%SEARCH% does not have a scope="topic" option; however, the search at /Support/WikiConsultants has this attribute set.

%SEARCH{
  "form.name~'*WikiConsultantForm' and State != 'passive'"
  web="Support"
  nonoise="on"
  sort="on"
  excludetopic="WikiConsultantTemplateTopic,Consultant"
  order="topic"
  type="query" 
  scope="topic"
  format="<div class='consultant'>
  ...

The search is working... (it shouldn't be working).

I discovered this when I borrowed some of the code for an app of my own and decided to use

  type="regex"

instead of

  type="query" 

When I did that, my SEARCH stopped working. When I fixed the scope variable, my SEARCH worked again.

Perhaps

  type="query" 

either ignores scope or just tests that it's not title. (type is documented as controlling how the search is performed when scope="text" or scope="all" .)

See distro:feed24596405 - This started out as a typo in the documentation as well.

Closed. changed the search to use scope="all"
