The quickest way to find what you're looking for is probably with the search function of the Wiki. However, if you don't know exactly what you're looking for or what to call it you'll miss a lot with the build in search function. Searching with Google is recommended, unless you know exactly what to search for. | |||

The build in search function is quickly accessible on the left but has a few limitations: | |||
*It can't search for substrings (''AddScriptPackage'' won't show up when searching for ''Package''). | |||
*Searching for any word with 3 characters or less will yield 0 results, without a warning. | |||
*It takes some time to update the search index, but this also counts for Google. | |||
If these limitations won't affect your search result there's no harm in using the search bar on the left. | |||
Manually adding [[Portal:Scripting/Search_Terms|search terms]] to pages is an attempt to improve the search functionality on the Wiki. For more information about the MediaWiki search engine see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Searching Wikipedia:Searching]. | |||
