==Usage==

Creates a Google custom search link, which searches the [[English Wikipedia]] (except for the Talk: namespace, which Google does not index). This template takes two unnamed input parameters; both are optional:

# Your search term(s) (optional.) If this parameter is empty, clicking on the resulting link generates a Google search form with an initially blank input field, ready to search the English Wikipedia.
# Link text to display on your wiki page (optional). If this parameter is empty, the template displays a link, with the link text:
#* If you specified a search string:
#** Search Wikipedia with Google for: ''search string''
#* If you did not specify a search string:
#** Search Wikipedia with Google

This template is useful for searching Wikipedia with Google, using a simpler syntax than other methods in [[Help:Search#Google]] and [[Wikipedia:Searching#Google]].

=== Do not use in articles ===
{{Warning|Do not use this template in [[WP:WIAA|articles]] (as Google search links [[WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided|are not appropriate in articles]]). The template is only for [[Help:Talk page|talk pages]] and other process pages ([[WP:HD|Help desk]], [[WP:PROJ|WikiProjects]], etc.). The template will produce an error if you attempt to use it in an article.}}

==Examples==

{| class="wikitable"

! Type this !! To get this !! What it produces, or searches for
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Google Wikipedia||}}</nowiki></code> || {{Google Wikipedia||}} || Blank form to search the [[English Wikipedia]]
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Google Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> || {{Google Wikipedia}} || Delimiters are optional when both parameters are empty
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Google Wikipedia||Search Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> || {{Google Wikipedia||Search Wikipedia}} || Display our own link text
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Google Wikipedia|clear search history|}}</nowiki></code> || {{Google Wikipedia|clear search history|}} || Search the English Wikipedia for the combination of three search terms
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Google Wikipedia|"clear search history"|}}</nowiki></code> || {{Google Wikipedia|"clear search history"|}} || Search the English Wikipedia for a phrase
|-
|}

== Lineage ==

This template is a cut-down instance of the more general {{Tl|Google custom}} template. You may wish to make similar templates if you need to create repetitive links to other portions of Wikipedia that {{Tl|Google custom}} can search. This saves much typing compared to using {{Tl|Google custom}} for each link.
