General
Fast search operates wiki wide and is driven by the search field in the WikidPad toolbar. To use it:click with the mouse in the fieldtype the regular expression to search forpress enter
The result is a dropped down list of pages where a match is found. The specification and layout of this list are exactly the same as that for the result list of the Full search.
• Result list"
Below is a screenshot of part of a result list, with the results for two pages:
Each item in the list consists of:a blue clickable bar, functioning as the "next occurence" buttonthe page namein parentheses: the current occurence on the page and the number of occurences on the page separated by a slash "/".
if the option "count occurences" is set to false, the number of occurences is represented by a questionmark "?".
on the next line(s): a portion of the found text with the pattern
the size of the portion depends on the setting of the "Context characters..." option.
When there are more then one occurences in a page, you can skip through them by:clicking the blue bar.selecting the page item in the list and pressing F3.
The item in the list is updated to show what the current occurence is.
Double clicking on an item - outside the blue bar! - brings you to the page and the matching occurrence shown for it in the list item. If the page was already loaded, a double click brings you to the next occurrence on the page.

• Context characters: before and after
Chooses the number of characters to show before and after a found match as context in wiki-wide search. For an "anded" regex, the beginning of the page is shown with so many characters as the sum of the "before" and "after" values. Using context may slow down the searching a bit.
• Count Occurrences
Counts how many matches a page contains and shows this number in parentheses after each page name in wiki-wide search results. This option slows down searching.
