<p><b>New page</b></p><div>It is possible to create an external searches of a topic using key words using a template. <br />
<br />
For example, this is something that would work for Google: <br />
<pre>&lt;span style="border: 1px solid #CCD5DB;"&gt;[[Image:GoogleIcon.PNG]] [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;q={{{1|Wiki}}}&amp;btnG=Search&amp;meta= {{{1|Google}}}]&lt;/span&gt;<br />
==Usage==<br />
Allows to establish a link to a search query at the Google search engine:<br />
&lt;div style="display:table; width:auto;"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;<br />
{{Google|Term1+Term2+Term3}}<br />
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br />
[[Category:Template|Google]]<br />
&lt;/noinclude&gt;</pre> <br />
The usage is very simple and easy to use. <nowiki>{{Google|firstTerm+Second+etc}}</nowiki> <br />
<br />
It is also possible to do phrases by using&nbsp;%22Term1+Term2+etc%22 <br />
<br />
*External searches are useful where an article requires certain keywords to make an effective search. <br />
*For the editor it allows making searches of web more quickly and painlessly.<br />
<br />
Other applications of the template include searching Forums, for bug reports of the same type for software development wikis where the wiki and forum work together. <br />
<br />
Note: Wikipedia has an [[Help:Links#Interwiki_links|interwiki prefix]] with a similar effect, so you can link to google results with <nowiki>[[Google:firstTerm+Second+etc]]</nowiki>, although templates are still useful for linking other search engines. <br />
