### <a name="Referring_Topics"> Referring Topics </a>
Referring topics are found using the the %SEARCH% variable, see the template `searchrenameview.tmpl`. First, matching topics in the current Web are listed - matches are to _topic_. Next, all Webs (including the current one) are listed that match _web.topic_. Because %SEARCH% is used, Webs marked in [[WebPreferences]] as NOSEARCHALL will not show up in the search for refernces to the _topic_ being changed.
-Changed references are kept are as short as possible, i.e. _topic_ is used in preference to _web.topic_.
