[edit] Usage

Creates a Google custom search link, which searches one site (and, optionally, pages with URLs containing one directory path in the site). (If you want to search on the entire Web, use {{Google}} instead.) This template takes three unnamed input parameters; you must supply the first one, and the last two are optional.

  1. A domain name, and optionally the first part of directory path (to specify one part of the site to search). This parameter becomes the values of the sitesearch= and domains= parameters in the resulting search URL. If the value ends in a directory path component, it evidently must end with a complete path component. For Wikipedia URLs, this would be everything up to a slash or a colon (including or not including the slash or colon has no effect on the resulting search). (Required.) Examples:
    • en.wikipedia.org — (search all of the English Wikipedia)
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk — (search the English Wikipedia Help desk)
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help: — (search the English Wikipedia's Help: namespace)
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_ — (generates a search link that does not work: try it, evidently because no Wikipedia page URLs contain the string with a colon or a slash immediately after it)
  2. Your search term(s). (Optional.) If this parameter is empty, clicking on the resulting link generates a Google search form with an initially blank input field, ready to search on the site the first parameter specifies.
  3. Link text to display on your wiki page. (Optional.)
