Using the search box
Start by entering a keyword in the search box in the sidebar to the left.
- Click on the Go button (or hit Enter on the keyboard) to search for a page title that matches the keyword.
- Click on the Search button to search for both page titles that contain the keyword and pages with text that matches the keyword.
Searches with the Go button
- Enter a keyword and click on the Go button (or hit Enter on the keyboard). If there's a match you'll be redirected to the page whose title matches the keyword.
- Example: If you enter the keyword rpoD and click on Go, you'll be redirected to the rpoD:Quickview page.
- If there is no match, you'll be redirected to a page that tells you There is no page titled "keyword". Below this message will be Search Results with:
- (i) a list of Article title matches, these are page titles that contain the keyword and
- (ii) a list of Page text matches, which are pages containing text that matches the keyword.
- Example: If you enter the keyword sigma70 and click on Go, you'll be redirected to the page like the one shown below:
- Go is case sensitive
Searching using the Go button is case sensitive. For example, searching for rpod or RPOD will not find the rpoD pages.
Searches with the Search button
- Example, if you enter the keyword rpoD and click on Search, the search engine will return a list of 8 Article title matches and a list of 13 pages with the text rpoD.
Using Category pages
One advantage of wikis is that it is easy to group related articles in the same Category (or Categories). A list of the categories that a page is assigned to can be found at the bottom of the page. To see all the pages in that category, type "Category:CategoryName" in the search box in the sidebar.
Example: To see all pages in the Help category, type "Category:Help" in the searchbox.
To add a category tag, put [[Category:"CategoryName"]] on the page. The wikimedia convention is to put the category tag(s) at the bottom of the page.
