Template:Searchnews

Template usage

• use like
  • {{Searchnews}} to display all news titles (10 articles by default)
  • {{Searchnews|find=pci}} to search for pci (case insensitive).
  • {{Searchnews|find=pci|find1=STEMI}} to search for pci OR STEMI (case insensitive).
  • {{Searchnews|find=pci|find1=\bMI\b}} to search for pci OR MI (case insensitive, MI occuring as a whole word).

Notes on usage

1. First search term (parameter 'find') is required --
   • Can use as many additional search terms (find1, find2, ... find#)
   • All search terms are joined by OR statement.
2. Article results are sorted by most recent, according to date passed to Template:Newsarticle
3. All searches are case-insensitive. Can specify word-breaks using \b (end-of-word)
4. Default title display is set by Template:Newsarticle.dplsearch
5. Default number of articles is 10
6. The entire contents of the news article are NOT searched -- search occurs within the contents of page title (per mediawiki), the summary term of the Newsarticle template, and the contents of keywords optionally passed to Template:Newsarticle
7. It is, unfortunately, not possible to pass an article count limitation on the results. Because of the intricacies of DPL extension, the searching is done among articles returned -- and, the article count limitation is used to set the number returned. SO the result is, if you use 'count=2', only the 2 most recent news articles are returned, and the search is conducted among those 2. This is insufficient for Template:Showsearchnews usage, so, unfortunately, we will have to find another way to limit search results.

Template customization

• Edit display per article in news listing
