Learn about searching and how to lter pages to show only
those you are interested in.
In wiki tools, you can search single wikis or blogs, or you can search all the wikis and
blogs you have access to. There are two key issues with searching:
You might not be searching using the same terminology as what appears in Â
the page
You might nd matches for pages that happen to mention what you’re searching for Â
but might not focus on that subject
Wiki tools solves these issues with tags and stars.
Tags are short, descriptive words or phrases that classify and organize wiki pages, blog
posts, or mailing list entries. Anyone can add a tag to a page. You can then lter search
results using tags to nd just the pages with content that focuses on what you’re
interested in.
Stars are similar to bookmarks, in that they are a way to mark pages that you are
interested in. Stars are not shared with other users. You can view starred pages or lter
search results by starred pages. Regardless of how large wikis and blogs grow, you’ll be
able to focus on just the pages you’re interested in.
Understanding Access Control
Every wiki can have a specic group of people who can access it. This lets you set up a
wiki structure that ts your organization’s security requirements.
For example, if you work in an organization with top-secret projects, you’d want each
of those top-secret projects to have its own wiki. If you have departments where
people in a department work on a few of those secret projects but not all of them,
you’d give them access to the department wiki and specic project wikis.
When you add content to a wiki, make sure the content is appropriate for the people
who can access the wiki.
