Wrapper for findpagetext function in [[Module:String]].<br />
<br />
'''Template:Find page text''' returns the position of a piece of text in the wikitext source of a page.<br />
<br />
== Parameters ==<br />
The template takes up to four parameters:<br />
* {{para|1}} or {{para|text}} is the text to be searched for.<br />
* Optional parameter {{para|title}} is the page title, defaults to the current page.<br />
* Optional parameter {{para|plain}} is either true for a plain search (default), or false for a [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Patterns|Lua pattern]] search.<br />
* Optional parameter {{para|nomatch}} is the value returned when no match is found; default is nothing.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |Youghiogheny}} → {{Find page text |Youghiogheny}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}Youghiogheny}} → {{Find page text |text=Youghiogheny}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}Youghiogheny |nomatch{{=}}0}} → {{Find page text |text=Youghiogheny |nomatch=0}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}Youghiogheny |title{{=}}Boston Bridge |nomatch{{=}}not found}} → {{Find page text |text=Youghiogheny |title=Boston Bridge |nomatch=not found}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}river |title{{=}}Boston Bridge}} → {{Find page text |text=river |title=Boston Bridge}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}river |title{{=}}Boston Bridge |nomatch{{=}}not found}} → {{Find page text |text=river |title=Boston Bridge |nomatch=not found}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}[Rr]iver |title{{=}}Boston Bridge |plain{{=}}false |nomatch{{=}}not found}} → {{Find page text |text=[Rr]iver |title=Boston Bridge |plain=false |nomatch=not found}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}%[%[ |title{{=}}Boston Bridge |plain{{=}}f}} → {{Find page text |text=%[%[ |title=Boston Bridge |plain=f}}<br />
* {{tlx|Find page text |text{{=}}%{%{[Cc]oord |title{{=}}Boston Bridge |plain{{=}}f}} → {{Find page text |text=%{%{coord |title=Boston Bridge |plain=f}}<br />
The search is case-sensitive, so Lua pattern matching is needed to find <code>river</code> or <code>River</code>. The last example finds <code><nowiki>{{coord</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Coord</nowiki></code>. The penultimate example finds a wiki-link.<br />
