+= Using Search
 
-Trac has a built-in search engine to allow finding occurrences of keywords and substrings in wiki pages, tickets and changeset descriptions.
-
-Using the Trac search facility is straightforward and its interface should be familiar to most www users.
+Trac has built-in search functionality to search for occurrences of keywords and substrings in wiki pages, tickets and changeset properties, such as author, revision and log messages.
 
 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.
 
-== Quickjumps ==
-For intermediate and advanced use, Trac has a useful way to quickly navigate to a given resource, named '''quickjumps'''.
+The search results show the most recent modifications ranked first rather than the most relevant result.
 
-If you enter a [wiki:TracLinks TracLink] in the search field above the navigation bar, Trac will recognize this and assume you know where you're going. 
+== Quick searches
 
-For example:
+For quick access to 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:
 
  * ![42] -- Opens change set 42
  * !#42 -- Opens ticket number 42
  * !{1} -- Opens report 1
+ * /trunk -- Opens the browser for the `trunk` directory in the default repository
+ * /repos1/trunk -- Opens the browser for the `trunk` directory in the `repos1` repository
 
-'''Note:''' ''This is a particularly useful feature to quickly navigate to a specific issue ticket or changeset.''
+To disable the Quickjump feature for a keyword start the query with an exclamation mark (`!`): use `!TracGuide` to search for occurrences of the literal word !TracGuide.
 
-=== 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 TracLinks
+
+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
+
+== Search Filters
+
+On the search page, pressing the modifier key while selecting a search filter will unselect all other search filters.
