Indexing User

Last modified by Clemens Robbenhaar on 2022/09/15

A new section to define a dedicated indexing user has been added in the "Search" category in the wiki administration.

The search index usually runs without a dedicated user. In some cases this creates minor issues when indexing the title of pages, e.g. in case of a closed wiki, where one cannot access as guest user the sheet that computes the user profile pages title as "Profile of «firstname» «lastname»". This is not possible unless the indexer is associated with a user that has access to the corresponding sheet. A new section in the "Search"  category of the wiki administration allows to set an "indexing user", which is used to access the sheets which might be used to compute page titles.

If this setting is left empty, the stored plain title of the page name is shown as title of the search result for affected pages.

Please read the description and especially about the security implications before setting an indexing user.
