This is the {{Find sources multi}} source search template. It uses the Template:Find sources multi meta-template. |
This template produces a series of links to various search interfaces to help find additional reference material for articles. It is based on the {{find sources multi}} meta-template. This template should not be used in articles themselves - see Wikipedia:EL#Links normally to be avoided.
Usage
[మార్చు]The first parameter is the main search term, which will be treated as a literal string if multi-part (e.g. Albert Einstein
will be searched as the single string "Albert Einstein" not "Albert" and "Einstein" separately).
Optional subsequent parameters (up to 4) are additional search terms. They can be enclosed in double quotation marks, preceded by an unspaced -
(hyphen) to exclude them from the search results, or both (e.g. -"Marilyn Monroe"
to exclude matches containing the phrase "Marilyn Monroe", but not either name by itself, from the search results). You do not need to add -wikipedia
, as the template automatically does this for you. Also, there is no need to add words in plural form unless irregular, as the search interface will match (for example) billiards as well given a search term of billiard.
If no parameters are given, the name of the article is passed as the search string. Note that this may or may not be desirable with disambiguated article names (if the Wikipedia disambiguator is sensible, however, it may actually help refine the search results).
