Find sources: "Example" – news⧼dot-separator⧽newspapers⧼dot-separator⧽books⧼dot-separator⧽scholar⧼dot-separator⧽JSTOR⧼dot-separator⧽free images
| 40x40px | This is the {{Find sources}} source search template. It uses the Template:Find sources multi meta-template. |
| 50px | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Find sources (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
This template produces a series of links to various search interfaces to help find additional reference material for articles. It is based on the {{find sources multi}} meta-template. This template should not be used in articles themselves - see Wikipedia:EL#Links normally to be avoided.
Contents
Usage
The first parameter is the main search term, which will be treated as a literal string if multi-part (e.g. Albert Einstein will be searched as the single string "Albert Einstein" not "Albert" and "Einstein" separately).
Optional subsequent parameters (up to 4) are additional search terms. They can be enclosed in double quotation marks, preceded by an unspaced - (hyphen) to exclude them from the search results, or both (e.g. -"Marilyn Monroe" to exclude matches containing the phrase "Marilyn Monroe", but not either name by itself, from the search results). You do not need to add -wikipedia, as the template automatically does this for you. Also, there is no need to add words in plural form unless irregular, as the search interface will match (for example) billiards as well given a search term of billiard.
If no parameters are given, the name of the article is passed as the search string. Note that this may or may not be desirable with disambiguated article names (if the Wikipedia disambiguator is sensible, however, it may actually help refine the search results).
Search engines
The template includes links to the following search engines:
- Google, the flagship search engine from Google Inc.
- Google News, Google's search engine for news sites. Only recent news stories will be searched for.
- Google Newspapers, a search of Google's digital archive of print newspapers.
- Google Books, Google's search engine for books.
- Google Scholar, Google's search engine for academic papers and other scholarly research.
- JSTOR, an online library containing digitised versions of academic journals. Requires a subscription.
- Google Images, Google's search engine for images. Only images compatible with Wikipedia's licensing are included.
