It is possible to create an external searches of a topic using key words using a template.<br />
<br />
For example, this is something that would work for Google:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
<span style="border: 1px solid #CCD5DB;">[[Image:GoogleIcon.PNG]] [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q={{{1|Wiki}}}&btnG=Search&meta= {{{1|Google}}}]</span><br />
<noinclude><br />
==Usage==<br />
Allows to establish a link to a search query at the Google search engine:<br />
<div style="display:table; width:auto;"><pre><br />
{{Google|Term1+Term2+Term3}}<br />
&lt;/pre></div><br />
[[Category:Template|Google]]<br />
</noinclude></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
The usage is very simple and easy to use. <nowiki>{{Google|firstTerm+Second+etc}}</nowiki> <br />
<br />
It is also possible to do phrases by using %22Term1+Term2+etc%22<br />
<br />
*External searches are useful where an article requires certain keywords to make an effective search.<br />
*For the editor it allows making searches of web more quickly and painlessly.<br />
<br />
Other applications of the template include searching Forums, for bug reports of the same type for software development wikis where the wiki and forum work together.<br />
<br />
Note: Wikipedia has an [[Help:Links#Interwiki_links|interwiki prefix]] with a similar effect, so you can link to google results with <nowiki>[[Google:firstTerm+Second+etc]]</nowiki>, although templates are still useful for linking other search engines.<br />
