The OrthodoxWiki Searchbar
* Searching the image namespace means searching the image descriptions, i.e. the first parts of the image description pages.
* Check or uncheck the tickbox "List redirects" in "Search in namespaces" box found at the bottom of a search results page.
* The source text (what one sees in the edit box, also called [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Wiki markup|wiki text]]) is searched. This distinction is relevant for [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Piped link|piped link]]s, for [[Wikipedia:interlanguage link]]s (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.
For a more exhaustive list of techniques, please see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Searching meta:Help:Searching] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Searching Wikipedia:Searching].
===The OrthodoxWiki Searchbar===
We're happy to announce that a custom OrthodoxWiki search tool is now available! You can add it to the default Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape ([http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ Mycroft]) search bar with a simple click. Please go to [http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/tools/ OrthodoxWiki.org/tools/<font color="red">BROKEN LINK - SEE ALTERNATE LINK >>> [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=orthodox&submitform=Find+search+plugins http://mycroft.mozdev.org] </font> to install.
A couple tips:
* If you hold down the Alt key when you press Enter to invoke a search, Firefox loads the results in a new tab.
* If you drag and drop text onto the Search Box, Firefox fires off a search and loads the results in a new tab.
 
This extension is also available directly from [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=orthodox&submitform=Find+search+plugins http://mycroft.mozdev.org]. You can rate it there!
