Use this template to create a link to a list of all page names which begin with a given word or words.

Note: Use the template {{in title}} instead if you wish to create a link to a list of all page names which contain a given word or words.

Usage

  • {{Look from|NAME|NAMESPACE|TEXT}}

All three parameters are optional.

If no parameters are given, the name of the tagged page is used.

If there is no second parameter, the main namespace is used.

The third parameter can be used for displaying another text than the default one

Example

Case Code Result
no parameter {{Look from}} All pages with titles beginning with Template:Look from/doc
with a first parameter {{Look from|Alan}} All pages with titles beginning with Alan
with a second parameter {{Look from|Alan|File}} All pages with titles beginning with File:Alan
with a third parameter {{Look from|Alan||all the Alans}} all the Alans

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}}Template:Search link.
  • {{Regex}} – develop an advanced regex search. {{regex | \<--.*--> | label = Articles with comments missing the ! bang character | prefix=0}}Template:Regex
  • {{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}}Template:Template usage
  • {{ShortSearch}} – create three search links: {{ShortSearch | system operations research}}Template:ShortSearch (search Wikipedia, "Google" Wikipedia, and Google search)
  • {{wpsearch}} – create five search links: {{wpsearch|collaborative search}}Template:Wpsearch
  • {{Wikidata search link}} – creates a Wikidata search link for descriptions, entities, items, properties, etc. → Template:Wikidata search link

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 Script error: No such module "Section link"..
