Script adds extra features to the search form on the left.
«Go» button (or Enter):
- will expand "short" namespace name: u → User, i → Image, c → Category, t → Template, me → MediaWiki,
- holding Shift (in Firefox Ctrl) will open results in a new window
For examply, one could type «u:test», press Shift-Enter, and get «User:Test» in a new window.
«Search» button is replaced with a drop-down namespaces list:
- 1st list item is a "new window / this window" selector.
- There are two external search choices, Google on English Wikipedia and Google on Wikipedia.
- "Default search" item works just like replaced «Search» button, in namespaces defined in you preferences.
- Other items run searches in separate namespaces. To do this manually, one would have to go to the search page and use the form on the bottom.
Note: in Internet Explorer the list does not replace the button, but simply added below.
Installation:
importScript('User:Alex Smotrov/searchlist.js'); → your monobook.js
Parameters: searchListNS and searchListShortNS can be redefined before calling the script, see the code for details.
