Wikipedia Search Extension

Wikipedia Search is an extension that adds multiple ways to search Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, right in your web browser. You can type \"wiki\" in the browser search bar, then the Space or Tab key, to start a search with live suggestions as you type. Also, selecting a word or phrase in a web page and opening the context menu will show a Wikipedia search option.

You can change the default search language to any language Wikipedia supports, and the optional multi-language search feature can override it with a different choice. Search results can be opened in the desktop Wikipedia site, the mobile site, or Wikiwand.

Wikipedia is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia Search is in no way affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.

Pim Hutjens (ID: 000000a7632ef0f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/19/2023 Simpel en goed, een shortcut om snel op wikipedia te zoeken, geweldig!

Lucas van den broeck (ID: 00000043db83a3ba) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/21/2022 Doet wat het zegt, en doet dat goed. Zeer handing voor tijdens onderzoek/leren.

Theodore Kloba (ID: 00000006a636b3b7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/26/2021 I wanted a context menu search, and it works for that. Not happy that it altered my existing address bar search settings without asking. I use wikipedia often enough that "W" was my shortcut. This extension made the shortcut longer.

Raza Lakhani (ID: 0000008f2b8bf73b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/20/2021 Basic Search with 'wiki' is no longer working. I'm not sure but may be due to the introduction of "wiki settings" feature the extension gets confused. The Basic Search is a very nice and handy feature. Kindly make it work again. Thanks.

Marilyn Devick (ID: 0000000f42cceb5f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/10/2021 Only issue is that when you try to search for an article that begins with the word "new", it then overrides the english default and automatically searches in the Newari language, which I don't know or need to search for articles in. please fix this.
