All the examples on this page have been commented out to prevent the page from being very slow to load. If you want to see the outcome of a search example, just edit the page and remove the comment tags around the desired example. You don't need to save the page, a preview will give you the search results; that way you can experiment with the examples and easily restore the page to its original state when you are done.
Searching for pages containing a certain text string
Text without wiki markup
Enter {{Search|text}}
anywhere to get the search results in the form of links. Here text can be plain text or a perl like regexp. Be careful to escape regexp meta characters. If the searched text contain wiki markup this template may nor give the desired results; see the next section.
The Search template searches only the main namespace, and only original English pages.
Example: To find all English pages containing the word application - possibly capitalized enter this:
{{Search|[Aa]pplication}}
