Solution

Attach:jumpbox.php

Discussion

This recipe adds [[$Jump]] markup sequence that generates a text box where a user can enter the name of a page to navigate to (instead of having to use links or edit the browser URI). If the user enters the name of a page that doesn't exist, then a search is performed instead.

For example, entering a page name in the box below will jump directly to that page. Entering an invalid or nonexistent page name causes search results to be displayed instead.
