==Usage of this template and related alternatives==<br />
===Template for creating a list of URLs searching for the same string===<br />
This page's template creates a short, parenthetical list of abbreviated external links to different searchable locations for the same [[search string]]. This could be useful on a talk page to encourage researching a topic from a variety of sources. <br />
<br />
For example:<br />
{{block indent|<code><nowiki>{{Search|Alarm clock|long=y}}</nowiki></code>}}<br />
<br />
produces the following list of links to various searches for <code>Alarm clock</code> (hover over a link for a tooltip showing the search link's title):<br />
{{block indent|{{Search|Alarm clock|long=y}}}}<br />
<br />
The abbreviations stand for:<br />
* wp - Wikipedia search<br />
* gwp - [[Google]] search of Wikipedia<br />
* g - Google search<br />
* bwp - [[Microsoft Bing|Bing]] search of Wikipedia<br />
* b - Bing search<br />
* eb - [[Encyclopaedia Britannica]] search <br />
* co - [[Columbia Encyclopedia]] search <br />
* gct - Google search of the [[PC Magazine]] Encyclopedia<br />
* sw - [[ScienceWorld]] search (sister site of the more famous [[MathWorld]] site)<br />
* arc - [[Internet Archive]] search <br />
* ht - [[HathiTrust Digital Library]] search <br />
<br />
For an abbreviated list of links, omit the {{para|long|y}} parameter.<br />
