Item11145: Search for Template topics extremely slow - kills WebCreateNewTopicTemplate usage

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Urgent	Closed	Engine	FoswikiTemplates, Performance, SEARCH

The search macros in System/WebCreateNewTopicTemplate and System/WebTemplateTopics don't actually limit the search to *Template topics, so in large webs a very large search load is encountered when either a missing topic is created, or the Template list is requested.

It appears that for QuerySearch, "name~'*Template'" does not limit the search. Adding topic="*Template" does.

not just that, using topic is much much faster.
