The Template:Wikisearchbox generates a box in the style of an infobox (as show at right) with search-links for up to 9 text phrases to be found by wiki-search of the Wikipedia articles.
Examples:
- {{Wikisearchbox|The Beatles}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|text=The Beatles}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|text=John Lennon|text2=Paul McCartney}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|text=John|text2=Paul|text3=George|text4=Ringo}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|text=Beatles%22+%22Rolling Stones}}
The parameters are:
- title = Xxx Yzz - top title of the generated search box.
- title_bgcolor = "#AA6633" - background color of title (default: #E5E5E5)
- title_style = xxx - custom title style="{{{title_style}}}"
- (such as: title_style = font-size:92%; margin-left:20px;)
- box_width=230px - width of the generated box (default: 190px).
{{Wikisearchbox|text=John Lennon|text2=Paul McCartney}}
- text = xxx xxx - 1st text in "Search for: xxx xxx"
- text2 = xxx xxx - 2nd text in "Search for: xxx xxx"
- text3 = xxx xxx - 3rd text in "Search for: xxx xxx"
- text9 = zzz zzz - 9th text in "Search for: zzz zzz"
- (Any of the 8 other text phrases, such as text7 can be omitted.)
To search multiple phrases at the same time, put "%22+%22" separating the phrases:
- {{Wikisearchbox|text=apples%22+%22oranges%22+%22pears}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|Beatles%22+%22Rolling Stones}}
- {{Wikisearchbox|Beatles%22+%22Stones | title=Combined search|title_bgcolor=Beige}}
{{Wikisearchbox|text=Beatles%22+%22Stones | title=Combined search|title_bgcolor=Beige}}
Parameter name "text=" can be omitted since it is parameter 1.
The width of the box might expand beyond box_width, if long words appear in the title or any of the text-phrase parameters.
For more than 9 phrases, use the template again, and stack the boxes down the right-side margin. The next title can be set to blank by using "title= ".
