Synopsis

The ExternalSearchPlugin creates a form to query InterWikis or other internet sites.

Typical Usage

<?plugin ExternalSearch
         url="InterWiki or URL"
         name="button text"
?>

Arguments

url: Specify a wiki from the InterWikiMap or a url. Any text entered by the user will be appended to the search url. The string placeholder '%s' can be used to insert a search query into the url rather than appending it.

name: Text to display in the submit button. For InterWiki sites the default is the wiki name, for other urls the default is the text "External Search".

formsize: Specify the input area size. (default: 30 characters)

debug: Don't really redirect to the external site, just print out the url that would be redirected to.
