Deprecation: #95318 - TypoScript parseFunc.sword
================================================

See :issue:`95318`

Description
===========

The TypoScript option :typoscript:`parseFunc.sword` allows to wrap
search words (such as defined via GET parameter :html:`sword_list%5B%5D=MySearchText`)
in a special wrap when :html:`no_cache=1` is set. This functionality has been marked as
deprecated as this feature only works in non_cached environments, which
is not a recommended solution by TYPO3.

Since this behavior is enabled by default, it is highly recommended to avoid
this in general, which can be achieved by disabling the :html:`no_cache=1` GET parameter
in :file:`DefaultConfiguration.php`.

Also, such an option within :typoscript:`parseFunc` does not cover all cases to highlight
a search word, such as in headlines or HTML content which is not rendered
via :typoscript:`parseFunc`.


Impact
======

Websites called via `https://example.com/?no_cache=1&sword_list%5B%5D=MySearchText`
and a custom sword wrap will trigger a PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

As this feature is seldom used and only configured with indexed
search as desired functionality, deprecations are only triggered
when explicitly configured.

In addition, this feature only works if :typoscript:`disableNoCacheParameter`
is disabled or :typoscript:`config.no_cache = 1` is explicitly set via TypoScript
which is also not recommended in production.


Affected Installations
======================

TYPO3 installations actively using the GET argument :html:`sword_list` and have
:html:`no_cache` as allowed GET argument enabled, usually in cases where indexed
search is in use.


Migration
=========

It is recommended to implement this functionality on the client-side via
JavaScript as a custom solution, when this feature is needed.

Setting :typoscript:`lib.parseFunc.sword` to an empty string will actively
disable the functionality and not trigger a PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error as well.

Setting :typoscript:`lib.parseFunc.sword = <span class="ce-sword">|</span>`
will also not trigger a PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error for TYPO3 v11.
