Template for creating a list of URLs searching for the same string
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.
For example: Template:Block indent
produces the following list of links to various searches for Alarm clock
(hover over a link for a tooltip showing the search link's title):
Template:Block indent
The abbreviations stand for:
- wp - TechInfoDepot search
- gwp - Google search of TechInfoDepot
- g - Google search
- bwp - Bing search of TechInfoDepot
- b - Bing search
- eb - Encyclopaedia Britannica search
- co - Columbia Encyclopedia search
- gct - Google search of the PC Magazine Encyclopedia
- sw - ScienceWorld search (sister site of the more famous MathWorld site)
- arc - Internet Archive search
- ht - HathiTrust Digital Library search
For an abbreviated list of links, omit the |long=y
parameter.
