    See also Pipesmoker's notes and this page of examples
    Example UI on this Template:Catlist page

    All the examples on this page have been commented out to prevent the page from being very slow to load. If you want to see the outcome of a search example, just edit the page and remove the comment tags around the desired example. You don't need to save the page, a preview will give you the search results; that way you can experiment with the examples and easily restore the page to its original state when you are done.

    Searching for pages containing a certain text string

    Text without wiki markup

    Enter {{Search|text}} anywhere to get the search results in the form of links. Here text can be plain text or a perl like regexp. Be careful to escape regexp meta characters. If the searched text contain wiki markup this template may nor give the desired results; see the next section.

    The Search template searches only the main namespace, and only original English pages.

    Example: To find all English pages containing the word application - possibly capitalized enter this:

    {{Search|[Aa]pplication}}

    Information

    The results should just be a link to each page containing the searched text. For some reason, however, some pages include the content at the beginning of the page, typically an info box, an image or tabular material. This can be avoided by ensuring that the pages searched start by <languages />. If the page doesn't have translate tags this directive have no effect, but it prevents the unwanted inclusion of content from the page in the search result.


    Text containing wiki markup

    In case the Search template does not work for you use code like this to accomplish your desired result:

    <DPL>
      namespace = Main
      nottitleregexp = .*((/[a-z][a-z](.|-..)?)|([ _][(][a-z][a-z](...)?[)]))$
      titleregexp = ^[A-J]
      include = *
      includematch = @\{\{Remember\|3=@
      includemaxlength = 0
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages beginning with A-J\n
    </DPL>
    <DPL>
      namespace = Main
      nottitleregexp = .*((/[a-z][a-z](.|-..)?)|([ _][(][a-z][a-z](...)?[)]))$
      titleregexp = ^K[A-Z]
      include = *
      includematch = @\{\{Remember\|3=@
      includemaxlength = 0
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages beginning with KA-KZ\n
    </DPL>
    <DPL>
      namespace = Main
      nottitleregexp = .*((/[a-z][a-z](.|-..)?)|([ _][(][a-z][a-z](...)?[)]))$
      titleregexp = ^K[a-z]
      include = *
      includematch = @\{\{Remember\|3=@
      includemaxlength = 0
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages beginning with Ka-Kz\n
    </DPL>
    <DPL>
      namespace = Main
      nottitleregexp = .*((/[a-z][a-z](.|-..)?)|([ _][(][a-z][a-z](...)?[)]))$
      titleregexp = ^[L-Z]
      include = *
      includematch = @\{\{Remember\|3=@
      includemaxlength = 0
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages beginning with L-Z\n
    </DPL>

    Normally, you'd want to copy all of this into your page and modify the includematch lines to the pattern you want to search for. Note the two @-characters; they mark the beginning and end of the actual search pattern. You can use any character instead of @ as long as it does not appear in the actual pattern.

    Note

    Some characters such as ¤ do not work as pattern delimiters; perhaps only ASCII characters can be used?


    Warning

    The page count reporteb by each query is not the number of matching pages found, but the total number of pages searched in that group. That number should always be less than 500! If not, som of the pages will not have been searched.


    If you want to search other namespaces than Main, just change that line. The nottitleregexp lines filters out all translated pages including lingering old style translations and should not be touched. The titlematch lines are needed to split up the search into manageable chunks. There is a maximum of pages that can be handled by the includematch search; if too many pages pass through the title filters the first ones up to the maximum number will be searched; the rest will be silently ignored! Currently, the maximum seems to be 1000. The include and includemaxlength should never be modified.


    Be careful

    The rest of the examples should be modified to take recent insights into consideration. See the above.


    Searching for pages that hasn't been marked for translation

    <DPL>
      nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%pt-%|%(%)
      namespace = Main
      include = *
      includenotmatch = /<languages/
      includemaxlength = 0
      resultsheader = Danish translation units containing the string "applikation"
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
    </DPL>
    

    Find discussion threads contributed by a user

    Perhaps more talk namespaces needs to be searched.

    <DPL>
      namespace = Talk | Thread
      createdby = AmirHP
    </DPL>
    


    All English manual pages

    <DPL>
      titlematch = %/Manual%
      nottitlematch = %/__|%/__-__|%/___|% (%
      namespace = | User | Draft
      resultsheader = Manual Pages:
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]\n,,
    </DPL>
    


    All English pages linking to a given page

    The LinksTo template is describes and tested here: User:Claus_chr/DPL/Test

    Warning

    This query seems to be affected by the same problem as the plain text query (above).



    Kopete Subpages in 3 columns

    <DPL>
      titlematch = Kopete/%
      notnamespace = Translations
      columns = 3
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
    </DPL>

    Akonadi Subpages in Danish

    <DPL>

      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
    </DPL>

    Archived pages

    <DPL>

      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages in the Archive namespace. These are:\n
    </DPL>

    NoIndexed pages

    <DPL>
      titlematch = %

      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages in the Archive namespace. These are:\n
    </DPL>

    Ignoring Deleted Pages

    "As for DPL. If you hit a page with ?action=purge attached to the URL (i.e. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Latest_news?action=purge ), it will dump all the removed pages."

    Remaining old-style translations

    <DPL>
      titlematch = %_(%)
      notcategory = Template
      notnamespace = Thread
      notnamespace = Summary
      columns = 2
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages (partly) remaining in old-style translations. These are:\n
    </DPL>

    Pages with old i18n bar

    <DPL>
      titlematch = %

      columns = 3
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages that still display the old i18n language bar\n
    </DPL>

    Pages with old i18n bar but w/o old-way-translated ones

    <DPL>
      nottitlematch = %_(%)
      namespace = Main
      uses = Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar
      columns = 3
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% relevant pages that still display the old i18n language bar\n
    </DPL>

    Pages not updated since 1st July 2010

    <DPL>
      namespace = Main
      lastrevisionbefore = 201007010000
      columns = 2
      ordermethod=lastedit
      format = ,\n* (%DATE%) [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages without recent updates\n
    </DPL>

    Listing Non-Translation Pages

    <DPL>
      nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%(%)

      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = These %TOTALPAGES% pages are in the Mediawiki namespace\n
    </DPL>

    To count translated pages in a specific language:

    <DPL>
      titlematch = %/en
      notnamespace = Translations
      columns = 3
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
      resultsheader = There are %TOTALPAGES% pages (partly) translated to English. These are:\n
    </DPL>
