From XOWA: the free, open-source, offline wiki application

Overview

As of v3.3.4.1, XOWA has a new search engine. This uses the same search functionality that is in XOWA Android.

Unfortunately, this search engine is not backward compatible with old wikis. To use it, you must do one of the following:

  • Import a new wiki. The new search-databases are built automatically.
  • Upgrade an existing wiki by the search suggest box
    • Open any page in the wiki
    • Click the search suggest box (the box between "View HTML" and the magnifying glass)
    • Start typing. XOWA will prompt you to upgrade the wiki.
  • Upgrade an existing wiki through the maintenance page. You can upgrade with the following process
