Re: [Wikitech-l] Search function improvement

[Sorry if this message came twice : I'm not sure I've correctly configured my account] Hello, I was wondering if it would not be possible to update the search system that any Wikipedia page uses by adding a dropdown list allowing to seek in other Wikipedias; one could thus be able not only to search in the Wikipedia he's reading, but also in other ones. For instance, the search combo box, button and list would be like that : <form> <input type=text name="search" size=19 value=""> Try also in another Wikipedia : <select name="interwiki"> <option>Deutsch</option> <option>English</option> <option>Fran�ais</option> <option>Nihongo</option> <option>Zhongwen</option>[etc.] </select> <input type=submit name="go" value="OK"> <input type=submit value="Search"> </form> For example, someone searching in the French Wikipedia could also try and see what the German one has to offer with the same topic (granted that he actually knows how to spell it in the target language) without having to switch manually to the German Wikipedia. This way, including interwikipedia links would also be easier for editors. Vincent
