మూస:Search archives

మూస డాక్యుమెంటేషన్[view] [edit] [చరిత్ర] [purge]

Usage

A box for searching the subpages, basically excluding the tagged page itself from the scope. If there are subpages besides talk archives you might want to change the search button label by using the searchbuttonlabel parameter (see below). You can see what this will search by putting the template on a page and doing a blank search. A list of all the subpages will come up.

Basic usage: {{search archives}}. For example, if you put it at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages, it will search the subpages of Wikipedia talk:Talk pages, excluding that page.

If you want to search different page's subpages, specify it as the parameter root like this:
{{search archives|prefix=Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation}}.

Use the parameter prefix instead of root to include the page itself to the search scope. (But if you pass prefix=HTML, it will search not only HTML, but also all pages beginning with "HTML", such as HTML element etc.)

Other parameters:

searchbuttonlabel: The button label.
search-width: The search box width. Defaults to 30.

Example: {{search archives|searchbuttonlabel=Search Wikipedia|search-width=80}}
produces:

Various outer boxes can be used. This way one can combine the search bar with an archive list:

{{Archive list}} - linked archive numbers.
{{Archive list long}} - column of linked archive names.
{{Archive list long inline}} - inline archive names.

Template:Tmbox:

List of archives: no archives yet (create). ~ See Help: Archiving.
మూస:Search archive

Template:Ombox:

List of archives: no archives yet (create). ~ See Help: Archiving.
మూస:Search archive

As previously mentioned the search button text can be modified too. See above examples.

Templates for searching Wikipedia

Search links

A search link stores a query in a link that takes you to live search results for that stored search. They're found on user pages and talk pages. Use one to bring the full feature set of MediaWiki Search, or features of external search engines, to bear on users unfamiliar with their search parameters.

One type of search link is a wikilink with all the capabilities of Search (search box), and with standard wikilink syntax: [[Special:Search/query| label]]. So this search link will (1) navigate: [[Special:search/Wales]] → Special:search/Wales or (2) search: [[Special:search/~Wales | search/~Wales]] → search/~Wales if you prefix a ~ tilde character.

All other search links are made from a template that will build a URL instead of wikilink. A URL can for example can call off-site search engines to search Wikipedia.

{{Search link}} offers all the capabilities of Searching (search box), plus extra (URL) parameters for combinations of namespaces, and where you can escape the 20-results-per page-limitation, shareable: {{search link | et al | ''label'' | ns4 | ns5 | limit = 123}} → label.
{{Regex}} – develop an advanced regex search. {{regex | \<--.*--> | label = Articles with comments missing the ! bang character | prefix=0}} → Articles with comments missing the ! bang character
{{Template usage}} – develop a template regex search, and pinpoint specific template-call details. {{Template usage | Convert | \{{!}}C\{{!}}F | 0 | Articles that convert Celsius to Fahrenheit}} → Articles that convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
{{ShortSearch}} – create three search links: {{ShortSearch | system operations research}} → system operations research wp system operations research gwp system operations research g (search Wikipedia, "Google" Wikipedia, and Google search)
{{wpsearch}} – create five search links: {{wpsearch|collaborative search}} → collaborative search – Wikipedia search | Google search | Bing search | DuckDuckGo search | Yahoo search

{{Wikidata search link}} – creates a Wikidata search link for descriptions, entities, items, properties, etc. → https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=Universe&title=Special:Search&fulltext=1
