Wiki Query Language

To make searches within and among Wikis ThinkingOutLoud.DonaldNoyes.20120611

---

CompoundWikiWords would be used in procedures executed using a WikiQueryLanguage? (WQL).

Unimplemented (as yet) in any WikiEngine I know

---

Possibility Notions: (offered for thinking purposes only, hopefully implementations will follow)

An ExecutableProcessName? Followed by a colon, then a WikiWordExpression?

To search for pages containing a word in the current wiki:

• Find_Display:PageNames_ContainingWord

To search for pages containing a word in another wiki:

• Find_Display:PageNames_WikiName_ContainingWord

Commands might be assembled into named scripts:

• Search for pages with a given word in a selected wiki
  • Find_Listto_PagesFound:PageNames_ContainingWord
• Process the list so as to prepare a page containing a list of found pages as links
  • ConvertToHtml?:PagesFound?
• Save the list page using a given page name
  • SaveAs:GivenPagesName?
