click show to see which wikipedia areas are searched | ![]() |

{{Search prefixes
| small = Optional. See below.
| header1 = The title of the search box
| description = Optional long description.
| searchbuttonlabel = Optional. Defaults to "Search".
| header2 = Caption of the target pages list.
Defaults to "click show to see which wikipedia areas are searched"
| target page 1
| target page 2
| target page 3
...
| target page 30
}}
The search scope will be target pages and their subpages. If you want to search only subpages, excluding the target pages themselves, append a slash.
Setting the "small" parameter to "yes" creates a smaller box to the right. It only have effect when the template is on an article, talk page or an "other" page. For documentation on the small parameters see {{ambox}}, {{tmbox}} and {{ombox}}. Using the small parameters when they are not valid has no effect, but also does no harm.
"description" and the list of target pages are hidden by default, and user can see them by clicking. Setting header2 to no
completely hides the list of target pages.

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 are made by <inputbox>
tags. See mw:Extension:InputBox.
For searches with exact matches, exact in upper and lower cases, or in punctuation marks, see Help:Searching § grep.
