Search only for Wiki pages in a Site

Hello,

Unless you assign a custom type to wiki articles, they are all just regular content items, and can can not be distinguished from documents except by path. We did a customization once (rule) that automatically assigned a custom wiki type. The Share search than used that type in an advanced search form.

I would like to add to this question:

When using UTF-8 encoding (for greek characters) the resulting html preview of tinyMCE is not the actual characters, but rather the codes of these characters (e.g. not "o", but #omikron). This results to wiki pages becoming "un-searchable" when searching in greek.

Is there a way to overcome this?

As Axel said, they are "cm:content" type, so you can't distinguish them except by path. But you could add a
custom rule or behavior to change the type of the wiki articles, and add an advanced search option for this custom type.

Here, there is an example of codification and a detailed explanation of this solution.
