Usage

A box for searching the subpages, basically excluding the tagged page itself from the scope.

Basic usage: {{search archives}}. For example, if you put it at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages, it will search the subpages of Wikipedia talk:Talk pages, excluding that page.

If you want to search different page's subpages, specify it as the parameter root like this:
{{search archives|prefix=Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation}}.

Use the parameter prefix instead of root to include the page itself to the search scope. (But if you pass prefix=HTML, it will search not only HTML, but also all pages beginning with "HTML", such as HTML element etc.)

Other parameters:

  • searchbuttonlabel: The button label.
  • search-width: The search box width. Defaults to 30.
Example: {{search archives|searchbuttonlabel=Search Wikipedia|search-width=80}}
produces:
