What we want to build is a dossier. I know it would
work REALLY well as
a wiki except for the fact that you cannot search on specific fields
(because there are none). I know I can search the content of each page
through the builtin search function but I can't search on a specific
piece of data. But I can't do "SELECT customer_name FROM table WHERE
customer_name LIKE 'blah%';"
Is there any possible way to accomplish this with mediawiki? (Or perhaps
there is another wiki with this functionality?)
I don't know about LIKE but the Semantic MediaWiki extension lets you do
many other database-like queries, see
