Search for topics containing the words Chart and PNG and not JPG. The ";" and "!" are TWiki-specific operators and are not part of regular expression |

- TWiki extends the regular expressions with an and search. The delimiter is a semicolon
;. Example search for "form" and "template": form;template
|
>
> | A TWiki type="regex" SEARCH introduces two special characters to regular expressions:
- The semicolon
";" is an AND-operator.
Example search for "form" and "template": form;template
- The exclamation point
"!" as a NOT-operator.
Example search for "soap" and "wsdl" and not "shampoo": soap;wsdl;!shampoo

> | TWiki also supports a SQL-like query search where you can literally use AND and NOT operators.
Use Google if your TWiki site is public. Example search for "form" and "template" at TWiki.org: site:twiki.org +form +template |
