You can get to the search results page by entering what is not a page name (or a redirect), or by doing an empty search (clicking the magnifying glass, or pressing Go).

The ordering of the list of search results is by relevance or user settings.
The use of the usual search box while on the search results page defeats the purpose of the page. There are two search boxes because the usual search box is on every page, but the intent of the search results page is to use the newly placed search box to refine a list of results. There are several ways to accomplish this, either with the mouse or by query commands typed into the search box. For example, if you want to see more terms highlighted use "OR", and if you want to remove results use "-". (See Syntax below.)
Articles are in the main namespace, or "article space", but Special:Statistics will show that there are many times more pages on Wikipedia than there are articles on Wiki తెలుగు. Other types of pages are in other namespaces, and these can be searched by clicking on one of the filter-activation "links" in the grey frame just below the search box:
Talk pages are in their own, respective namespaces, and are not included in these selections.
See Search engine features below for using search box commands to refine results.
To get Wikipedia search results while on any web page, you can temporarily set your browser's (web-based) search box to interface the Wikipedia search engine and land on Wikipedia's the search results page: see Help:Searching from a web browser. This trick removes the need to first navigate to Wikipedia from a web page, and then do the search or navigation. It is a is temporary change, and then you put it back to your preferred web-search engine.
Say while on some web page, you decide to research, at Wikipedia, material on that web page. You change your web-search box to "Wikipedia (en)", and enter the page name or the query while on that web page. The other example is that you decide to contribute information from the web to Wiki తెలుగు. Furthermore, you can reach all twelve sister projects the same way. For example, you can go straight to a Wiktionary entry by using the prefix wikt: from your web-search box.
The search results page can open in a new tab. If your browser does not already have the manual ability to open any linked page in a new tab when you press and hold the Ctrl-key (PC) or ⌘-key (Mac), this functionality can be enabled at Preferences → Gadgets in the Browsing section. There are also custom user-scripts to make all search results always open in a new tab. (See the scripts available in See also.)
If you create an account you can visit your Special:preferences page (requires JavaScript) to set up:
If your query matches in the title of a redirect pagename, that redirect will show in the parenthetical beside the listed page name: "(Redirected from Redirect pagename)". Multiple redirects to the same page are de-cluttered from both the drop-down list and the search results list, so that only one such redirect match will show. The "List redirects" check-box in the Advanced frame from underneath the search results box is not really functional. (For lists of redirects, see Category:Wikipedia redirects. For redirects to a page, see Special:WhatLinksHere.)
There is no search parameter that will include redirects or not. To learn all the commands the search box understands to refine search results, such as "namespace: intitle: word1 OR word2", see the next section. You won't need the mouse.
The internal search engine can search for parts of page titles or page title prefixes, and in specific categories and namespaces. It can also limit a search to pages with specific words in the title or located in specific categories or namespaces. It can handle parameters an order of magnitude more sophisticated than most external search engines, including user-specified words with variable endings and similar spellings. When presenting results, the internal search understands and will link to relevant sections of a page (although to a limited degree some other search engines may do this as well).
The internal search is also able to search all pages for project purposes, whereas external search engines cannot be used on any talk page, a large part of projectspace, and any page tagged as noindex.
The source text (as shown in the edit box) is searched for. This distinction is relevant for piped links, for interlanguage links (to find links to Chinese articles, search for zh, not for Zhongwen), special characters (if ê is coded as ê it is found searching for ecirc), etc. Entering an article title will jump to that article; to display a list of matches to the search term instead, prefixing the search term with "-" or "~" (see "Avoiding automatic direction to page" below) will force a full search.
Upper and lower case as well as some diacritical marks such as umlauts and accents are disregarded in search. For example, a search for citroen will find pages containing the word Citroën (c = C, e = ë). Some ligatures match the separate letters. For example, a search for aeroskobing will find pages containing Ærøskøbing (ae = Æ).
Many non-alphanumerical characters are ignored. It is not possible to search for the string |LT| (letters "LT" between two vertical bars) as used in some convert templates for long tons; all articles with "lt" will be returned. Some characters are treated differently; "Credit (finance)" will return articles with the words "credit" and "finance", ignoring the parentheses, unless an article with exact title "Credit (finance)" exists.
The following features can be used to refine searches. Many of these links are a {{search link}}. (Search link is not guaranteed to exactly emulate the search box.)
The three main search parameters are prefix, intitle, and incategory. These are named filters, followed by a colon, as in "filter:query string". The query string may be a term, or a phrase, or part or all of a page name, as ascribed below. The filters accept Boolean operators between them. A single "namespace:" filter can go first, and a single "prefix" filter can go last, as explained below.
Query | Description |
---|---|
intitle:airport | All articles with airport in their title |
parking intitle: airport | Articles with "parking" in their text and "airport" in their title |
intitle: international airport | Articles containing "international" AND "airport" in their title (including Airports Council International) |
intitle: "international airport" | Articles with the phrase "international airport" in their title |
Query | Description |
---|---|
ammonia incategory: German_chemists | Starting with the articles listed at Category: German chemists, only the ones that have the word "ammonia" in their text |
incategory: "Suspension bridges in the United States" incategory: Bridges_in_New_York_City | Articles that are common to both categories — the suspension bridges in New York City |
Query | Description |
---|---|
Salvage wreck prefix: USS | Articles containing the words salvage and wreck whose title starts with the characters "USS" |
wave particle prefix:Talk:Speed of light | Speed of light talk pages with the terms "particle" and "wave", including the current and the archived talk pages |
wave particle prefix:Talk:Speed of light/ | Same search, but only in the archived subpages |
"portal namespace" readers prefix:Wikipedia talk: | Is equivalent to 'Wikipedia talk: "portal namespace" readers' |
Talk: "heat reservoir" OR "ocean current" | Any discussion page in the entire encyclopedia with either of those phrases, including archived discussions |
language prefix:Portal:Chi | Portal namespace page names that begin with "Portal:Chi" and have the word language in the page |
Note that the space characters are not very important except around "prefix". The query string of "incategory" is a page name (or "a category name"), and in a page name, the underscore is equivalent to space, and so underscore will suffice instead of the double quotes around the pagename with spaces in it. The "intitle" query is not a page name, but it also treats space and underscore equally, treating them as AND. (It even treats multiple spaces, and even mixes of spaces and underscores that way.) All filters can have between them multiple spaces (or underscores) (or a mix) without effecting search results. Multiple spaces are treated as a single space everywhere except around "prefix". (Namely, within and around Boolean operated terms, even if inside double quotes; in between adjacent filters; in page names; in starting characters of the search box query; in between the colon and the prefix parameter names "incategory", "intitle", or "all", or after that colon). "Prefix:" or a namespace name (or its alias) can have no space between its name and the following colon. And remember, "prefix:" is entirely literal after its colon, and so treats no space character, except as a space.
All search words are automatically subject to stemming. There is a stemming: parameter but it changes no search result. Stemming may be deactivated by using double quotes. Stemming is a convention among search engines. See the following examples:
Query | Description |
---|---|
intitle:bär | All articles with "bär" or "baer" or "bar" or "bars" in their title. |
intitle:"bär" | Articles containing "bär" in their title |
intitle:bar | All articles with "bar" or "bär" or "bár" or "bars" in their title. |
intitle:"bar" | same result as without double quotes |
The internal search engine cannot locate occurrences of a string within the page you are viewing but browsers can usually do this with Ctrl+F, or ⌘ Command+F on a Mac.
Single characters cannot be itemized in searches. Titles are case sensitive except for the initial character of a page name, but redirects hide most capitalization requirements.
Diacritical marks such as umlauts and accents are well regarded, just as they are when (the character-sensitive) prefix: is used. Most pages are redirected from their near equivalents. For example, Citroen will probably have a redirect to Citroën, and Aeroskobing redirects to Ærøskøbing.
Other special searches include:
If you're looking for a place where wine comes from pronounced "Bordo", you can try searching for a more general article such as "Wine", "Wine regions" (returning "List of wine-producing regions") or other wine types such as "Burgundy" and see if it's mentioned there or follow links (in this case, to "Burgundy wine", which has several mentions of "Bordeaux", and links to "French wine" and "Bordeaux wine"). If you know it's in France, look at "France" or the Category:Cities in France, from where you can easily find Bordeaux. You can try various things depending upon the particular case; for "Bordo" wine, it's quite likely that the first letters are "bord", so search an article you've landed on for these letters. If you use Google to search Wikipedia, and click on "cache" at the bottom of any result in the search engine results page, you'll see the word(s) that you searched for highlighted in context.
For an overview of how to find and navigate Wikipedia content, see Portal:Contents. If you're looking for a straight definition of a word, try our sister project Wiktionary.
If there is no appropriate page on Wikipedia, consider creating a page, since you can edit Wikipedia right now. Or consider adding what you were looking for to the Requested articles page.
If you have a question, then see Where to ask questions, which is a list of departments where our volunteers answer questions, any question you can possibly imagine.
A common mistake is to type a question into the search bar and expect an answer; some Web search tools such as Ask Jeeves support this. The Wikipedia search is a text search only; questions, as such, can jbe asked at the reference desk and similar places. A search for how do clocks work? will return articles with the words how, do, clocks, and work, ignoring the question mark (in practice this can lead to articles answering simple questions).
For reasons of efficiency and priority, recent changes are not always immediately taken into account in searches. The index is typically updated every morning GMT, such as between 06:00–07:00 for scans made 03:00–04:15 (UTC). If you see the index lagging more than a couple of days, report it. For other technical issues with the search engine, please leave a message on the talk page.
