On top, there's several very handy links:
simple search is very partial, because it don't use all name spaces
More on the namespaces :
Portals show you some selected pages (see down page the main portals).
Categories are at the heart of how wikis work, they should be seen as tags.
Categories are displayed at the bottom of pages.
You can add several categories to one of your pages, so that it can be easily found.

Game update (resume) on this wiki, using Category:Updates
On the official forum:
🇬🇧 Wiki search is quite weak... 🇫🇷 La recherche du wiki laisse à désirer... 🇫🇷 Advanced search tips, with Goo (for Google)
site:
allows you to limit the search to a single site. For ex site:https://fr.wiki.ryzom.com
search on the French wiki (FR), but for the EN wiki:site:https://en.wiki.ryzom.com
...wiki FR | Wiki EN | Common | Wiki search |
---|---|---|---|
197 results | 121 results | 17 results | all ns 4 pages (then in wiki code) and only the main ns 2 pages (then in wiki code) |
zora site:https://wiki.ryzom.com/
we search on all wikis: about 1 510 results
On the other hand: you can't search with * (as with wiki search). Previously, Goo search with magi used to search for all words beginning with magi (magic, magical, magics etc), but not anymore :(
To search for images on common: https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search 2 ex, with zora:
site:https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum
ex with zora About 1,030 results because after the forum the results are presented on wikis.
intitle:/[éèe]/v*
returns nothing. Worse: we have a problem with accents... Search because they have installed an extension!
