FormattedSearchAcrossMultipleWebs < Codev

A couple of times now I have wanted to specify multiple webs names during a FormattedSearch.

e.g.

in ref-by back-links (show me all topics in all webs that point to this topic)
in search (KoalaSkin): show me changes from all webs inside this one.

I just found out from the code that web=web1,web2,web3 is actually implemented, but I thought I would add that it would be nice to be able to specify to have the results from the different webs merged into one.

This can be done. In a FormattedSearch make sure to not use use any header, i.e., not even header="", because it would show up for each web. Example search for "wiki culture" with header inserted before the search:

Peter - In you example above, the sort is applied to each individual web (so all the found topics from TWiki are listed first, then those from Codev). Is there a way to have the sort apply to all the found topics, regardless of web?
