For example, if you added secret project information to a department wiki, everyone
in the department could see the information, whereas people outside the department,
who work on the secret project, don’t have access to the department wiki, and so
they wouldn’t have access to the secret project content. When you have content that
doesn’t fit current wikis, create a wiki for the content.
When using wikis, be aware of which wiki you’re currently viewing. When you search or
use tags while viewing a wiki, you’ll find pages within that wiki but not in other wikis.
However, if you’re viewing My Page, you can search or use tags for pages in all wikis
you have access to.
About Searching
You can search for text or tags on a single wiki or on multiple wikis. Searching across
multiple wikis lists only pages that you have access to.
Text searching lists pages with the following types of matches:
Content Â
Title Â
Most recent author Â
Tag text Â
You can use advanced search features, such as quoting text, to get exact matches.
For example, if you search for “anne johnson” without quotes, you’ll find pages that
include “anne” and “johnson” but not necessarily together. You might find pages with
“Anne Smith” and “Mike Johnson.” However, this is useful if you search for “anne plan”
and find all pages with both “anne” and “plan.” If you use “anne johnson” (in quotes)
you’ll find pages without text between “anne” and “johnson.”
Usually, you tag a page when that page is about a specific subject. For example, if you
have a page about planning that Anne works on, you’d tag it with “plan” and “anne.”
When you search for the “anne” tag, you’ll find pages that specifically involve Anne,
but not pages that just happen to mention her.
You can search for a combination of tags, like “anne” and “plan,” which would show
pages that use both tags. This is an improvement over doing a text search for “anne
plan” because you won’t find pages that just happen to mention “anne” and “plan.”
You can also combine a text search and tags. For example, let’s say Sunil doesn’t tag
pages related to himself with “sunil” but he wants to find pages related to himself that
also deal with Anne and planning. He could do a text search for “sunil” and then refine
the results using the “anne” and “plan” tags.
