+= Using Search =
+
+Trac has a built-in search engine to allow finding occurrences of keywords and substrings in wiki pages, tickets and changeset properties (author, revision and log message).
+
+Using the Trac search facility is straightforward and its interface should be familiar to most users.
+
+Apart from the [search: Search module], you will also find a small search field above the navigation bar at all time. It provides convenient access to the search module from all pages.
+
+The search results show the most recent modifications ranked first in the results rather than the most relevant result.
+
+== "Quickjump" searches ==
+For quick access to various project resources, the quick-search field at the top of every page can be used to enter a [TracLinks wiki link], which will take you directly to the resource identified by that link.
+
+For example:
+
+ * ![42] -- Opens change set 42
+ * !#42 -- Opens ticket number 42
+ * !{1} -- Opens report 1
+ * /trunk -- Opens the browser for the `trunk` directory
+
+== Advanced ==
+
+=== Disabling Quickjumps ===
+To disable the quickjump feature for a search keyword - for example when searching for occurences of the literal word !TracGuide - begin the query with an exclamation mark (`!`).
+
+=== Search Links ===
+From the Wiki, it is possible to link to a specific search, using
+`search:` links:
+ * `search:?q=crash` will search for the string "crash" 
+ * `search:?q=trac+link&wiki=on` will search for "trac" and "link" 
+   in wiki pages only
