Anyone still using the 1911 links? Pcb21 Pete 11:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Would it be worthwhile to add Project Gutenberg to the search list? I get hits there for folklore and history searches using Google to do a search restricted to site:www.gutenberg.org. RainbowCrane | Talk 03:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

To perform a phrase search I need to hand code the phrase like:
Can that the template be improved to do a phrase search with either of the following:

{{ editprotected}} The Wikipedia search link is hard-wired to en.wikipedia.org and so logs you out on the secure server. Instead of:
this works in a fully server-independent way:
or just this if you prefer, though it gives a link color slightly different to the other (external) links:

For the 1911 site search, it uses the param "custom?sitesearch=", but not for en.wikipedia.org, why? emijrp ( talk) 22:32, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

The link "1911" refers to 1911encyclopedia.org, which is shut down. If we want to refer to a complete third-party searchable online edition of EB1911, there's encyclopedia.jrank.org. Possibly the Gutenberg copy, but I don't know if it is complete or whether you can constrain the search properly. David Brooks ( talk) 17:24, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
I would like to merge this template with the Template:Missing article. Before finding this template, I edited the other one, and have removed some deprecated parameters which still exist in this template, and added some new useful search search tools, for example HathiTrust.

Please add a:

1911encyclopedia.org has not been available for at least two years, and an alternative should be found for searching the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. There are other sites available for perusing the contents, but I haven't spent any time to figure out which one might serve best as a replacement. archive.org might be an option. -- Mikaka ( talk) 20:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

to search the
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica on Wikisource. From what it appears, the URL brings up a list of search results for the search query even if the query corresponds to an entry that is included in the encyclopedia. (For example, searching for "Liberia" leads to
these results.)https://www.studylight.org/encyclopedias/bri/view.cgi?w={{{1}}}
. With this URL format, the site gives a page about the entry if the search query corresponds to an entry in the encyclopedia (such as a
search for "Liberia") but gives an error page if the search query does not correspond to an encyclopedia entry (such as a
search for "Libyria".) The error page has a search box of sorts.see Wikipedia:WikiProject Encyclopaedia Britannica

Can someone please explain why this template isn't showing up like it's supposed to? See here: Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Natural_sciences/Biology#Unsorted
Anyone have help/ideas? Is this because of the merge? Note that both the Template:Missing Article and Template:Search are not working. -- Iamozy ( talk) 23:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
I have update the template to use a lua module. this should reduce the complexity and removes some pages from Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded. I have applied uniform urlencoding to the input as well. see the testcases for comparisons. let me know if there are any problems. Frietjes ( talk) 18:33, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps a Google scholar link would be useful? It's a pretty key resource for all non-biography articles (espec. science and medicine). 131.172.249.81 ( talk) 07:27, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
