Wikis give you multiple methods to search the content.
Wikis using the Monaco (latest) skin have a search bar in the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen below the wiki logo.
There are three main methods of searching a wiki:
- Visit Special:Search either:
- Via clicking the search box arrow when the sidebar's search box is empty, or
- Via a link.
- Enter a term in the search box, then press return or click the search arrow. If any matching article names are found, you will be taken straight there. If not, you will be taken to Special:Search.
- Use an Inputbox - see below.
Creating a search box
To add a search box to any article, just type:
<inputbox> type=search </inputbox>
It will produce this box:
See Help:Inputbox for more details.
Other ways to find pages
To browse pages on the wiki, you can view a list of all pages or browse by category. See Special:ImageList to search for images.
You can also use Google's "site search" to search all Wikia wikis.
