<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation subpage}}<br />
<!-- Please place categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]]) --><br />
=== Purpose ===<br />
Creates a search box, targeting multiple subpages at once. If one page is enough, you can use {{tl|search box}} or {{tl|search archives}}.<br />
<br />
[[Template:Search deletion discussions]] uses this template, specializing in search deletion discussions.<br />
<br />
=== Syntax===<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;"><br />
{{Search prefixes<br />
| small = Optional. See below.<br />
| header1 = The title of the search box<br />
| description = Optional long description.<br />
| searchbuttonlabel = Optional. Defaults to "Search".<br />
| header2 = Caption of the target pages list. <br />
Defaults to "click show to see which wikipedia areas are searched"<br />
| target page 1 <br />
| target page 2<br />
| target page 3 <br />
...<br />
| target page 30<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The search scope will be target pages and their subpages. If you want to search only subpages, excluding the target pages themselves, append a slash.<br />
<br />
Setting the "small" parameter to "yes" creates a smaller box to the right. It only have effect when the template is on an article, talk page or an "other" page. For documentation on the small parameters see {{tl|ambox}}, {{tl|tmbox}} and {{tl|ombox}}. Using the small parameters when they are not valid has no effect, but also does no harm.<br />
<br />
"description" and the list of target pages are hidden by default, and user can see them by clicking. Setting header2 to <code>no</code> completely hides the list of target pages.<br />
<br />
==== limits ====<br />
* a limit of 30 prefixes/areas can be specified.<br />
* the prefixes must be in title form, not URL form - spaces, not "_" between words (this is the only form recognized by the prefix search parameter)<br />
<br />
