Usage

  • {{In title|words|caption}}

Creates a link to search for page titles which contain given words. The default value of the first parameter is the current page name, and that of the second parameter is 'All pages with titles containing "searchterm".'

The search term may contain a quoted string.

To search for page titles which begin with a given word, use {{look from}}.

Examples

  • {{In title|Wales}}
produces All pages with titles containing Wales.
  • {{In title|Wales Welsh|Article titles containing the words "Wales" and "Welsh".}}
produces Article titles containing the words "Wales" and "Welsh".
  • Compare the results of {{In title|"National Theatre"}} (an exact phrase)
= All pages with titles containing National Theatre
and {{In title|National Theatre}} (two search terms, implicitly connected with AND)
= All pages with titles containing National Theatre
  • Formatting can also be applied, using the second parameter: {{In title|"National Theatre"|Pages containing {{Xt|"National Theatre"}}.}}
= Pages containing "National Theatre".

Templates for searching Wikipedia

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 boxes

Search boxes are made by <inputbox> tags. See mw:Extension:InputBox.

Page title searches

  • {{Canned search}} – Link to automated search results for a given term
  • {{In title}} – Search for pages whose name contains given words
  • {{Look from}} – Search for pages whose name begins with a given word

For searches with exact matches, exact in upper and lower cases, or in punctuation marks, see Help:Searching § grep.
