| You can use the following keywords to refine the search results: | |
| quotes ("") | Search for the exact phrase. |
| AND | Search for two expressions (the default setting; use manually between two strings in quotation marks). |
| OR | Search for any of the two expressions. |
| minus (-) | Exclude pages that contain the word directly preceded by the minus (should be preceded by a space if used in the middle of the query). |
| asterisk (*) | Used at the end of the word as a wildcard. |
| tilde (~) | If used at the beginning of the query, it prevents jumping to the search result afterwards. At the end of the word, it enables "fuzzy search": the results will contain words that are similar in spelling. |
| intitle: | Search only in page titles. |
| prefix: | Search only on pages with titles beginning with the specified words. This instruction should be at the end of the search query. |
| incategory: | Search only for pages in the specified category. |
| linksto: | Search only on pages that link to the specified page. |
| hastemplate: | Search only on pages that contain the specified template. |
| insource: | Search in wikitext, and not in the text rendered in the browser. |
|
AND, OR and - (minus) can be used along with keywords. When searching for a phrase with "intitle:", "incategory:", etc., put it in quotation marks. | |
