Leave out the [ and ]. That is, use "query='name:{$username}'".
There's already a [ in the sentence, you don't need another one.

Hello:
I am looking at creating a "My Page(s)" link along similar lines.
I was successful enough to provide the user with a form that
creates pages
with a structure like:
title, submitter, created fields.
When the user clicks "My Pages" in the left menu, I want to be able to
search the pages that he created, by using the wiki variable
[{$username}]
in the TaskQuery.
This is what I tried - but doesnt return any values:
[{TasksQuery select='title,created,owner'
from='MyPage'
where='submitter=[{$username}]'}]
I also tried escaping the'[' and '{' characters with '\' but
doesn't work.
Is there a way to pass a variable name in the where clause instead
of having
to hard code it.
I also tried using the Search Plugin but got stuck at the very same
point:
[{Search query='name:[{$username}]' max=10 }] did not work.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Now, is it possible, out of the box, or via plugins, to dynamically
sift through the pages (like Employee*) and get information from
them?
Like creating a list of employees grouped by department, or maybe
reporting their salaries, etc.
As Janne mentioned, search is likely your best bet, if simplicity
and not wanting to do additional development work are your
priorities.
The downside of search is that it is full text and does not take
into
account the context of a given word or phrase, i.e., if one searches
on a term the search engine will find it anywhere on any wiki page.
There is no current facility for searching on fields.
I don't have any code available for distribution, but it's not
particularly difficult to modify JSPWiki for fielded searches. The
way I've approached this is to have a plugin that declares page-
level
metadata that is picked up the Lucene search engine as fields, then
one can search on those fields.
For example, a plugin might declare (via a form) the following
metadata:
__field name__ __field value__
title : The Hound of the Baskervilles
author : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
language : English
You'd have your plugin declare these name-value pairs as page-level
metadata, extend com.ecyrd.jspwiki.search.LuceneSearchProvider to
read the page metadata and add that as new Document fields, then
your
users can search using
title:baskervilles author:doyle
etc.
This isn't a trivial solution but it's not enormously difficult
either.
Lucene's indexing functionality is relatively easy to extend. Using
this method one could use JSPWiki as a bibliographic or employee
database, etc.. where each page (i.e., those containing fielded
data)
can serve as a database record. You could then add an additional
search JSP to make searching on those fields easier.
