Search Box: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:01, 3 July 2014

The search box is used to quickly scan the wiki for particular keywords. The search box has two functions: Search and Go.

Upon entering some text—assuming that one or many entry/page titles begin with the text that has been inputted—MediaWiki provides Search hits that correspond directly with those keywords. Clicking on one of these Search hits will direct the user to the selected entry/page.
Alternatively, the Go function produces a page of results that lists (in this order, if available):
- The option to Create the page (if an entry/page does not yet exist with this title).
- Content Pages
  - Page title matches
  - Page text matches
- Multimedia
  - Such as images
- Help and Project pages
- Everything
  - A amalgamation of all types of pages containing this keyword
- Advanced
  - An advanced search function that allows for various limitations to be placed on the results listed
