Options/Search suggest
Search
Choose one of the following:
- checked: Enables search suggestions in address bar; typing in the address bar will show suggestions in a drop-down list.
- unchecked: Disables search suggestions in address bar; typing in the address bar will not show suggestions.
Maximum number of results to retrieve:
This option limits the maximum number of results. For example, a setting of 10 with a search term of "earth" will retrieve the top 10 pages with the word "earth" in the title.
- For slower machines, decrease the number of words to 1. Note that the number must be greater than 0.
- For faster machines, increase the number of words as per your liking.
Choose one of the following:
- checked: Automatically adds a wildcard to every search suggestion. For example, "earth" will becomes "earth*" and match "Earth", "History of Earth", and "Earthquake". Note that the wildcard can be disabled by adding a space. For example, "earth " will match "Earth" and "History of Earth" but not "Earthquake".
- unchecked: Does not add a wildcard to every search suggestion. "earth" will only "Earth" and "History of Earth"
Enter list of namespaces to search:
This option specifies which namespaces to search. For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces
- For the main namespace, enter in "0"
- For all namespaces, enter in "*".
- For specific namespaces, enter in the ids separated by a comma. For example, to search the Main, Wikipedia, Category, and Portal namespaces enter in "0,4,14,100"
Maximum number of results to show in visible area:
This option limits the maximum number of results shown on screen. This visible-rows number can be made less than max-results. For example:
- A max-results of 100 and a visible-rows of 25 will show results #1-25 in the drop-down list, while results #26-100 can be seen using the drop-down list's scroll bar.
- A max-results of 25 and a visible-rows of 25 will always show all results on screen. The drop-down list will not have a scroll bar
