Templates to search 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 and are used to create ad hoc search links from a preview. The plain wikilink [[Special:Search/query]] works just like the search box, so it will navigate to a page instead of providing the desired search results page that a search link always provides.

A search link is made by a template that outputs a URL instead of a wikilink. A template can specialize, save typing, hide implementation, and add value to existing Search features. A URL brings a useful set of additional features to search links. Besides being universal and uniform, a URL can call up other search processing and pass parameters. For example it can call other search engines to search Wikipedia. Also template programmers can use a URL to bring arcane or beta features to normal users. For example there are many URL-only tweaks offered for the morelike operator of CirrusSearch.
