Hello,
I was wondering if it would not be possible to update the search system
that any Wikipedia page uses by adding a dropdown list allowing to seek in
other Wikipedias; one could thus be able not only to search in the
Wikipedia he's reading, but also in other ones. For instance, the search
combo box, button and list would be like that :
<form>
<input type=text name="search" size=19 value="">
Try also in another Wikipedia : <select name="interwiki">
<option>Deutsch</option>
<option>English</option>
<option>Français</option>
<option>Nihongo</option>
<option>Zhongwen</option>[etc.]
</select>
<input type=submit name="go" value="OK">
<input type=submit value="Search">
</form>
For example, someone searching in the French Wikipedia could also try and
see what the German one has to offer with the same topic (granted that he
actually knows how to spell it in the target language) without having to
switch manually to the German Wikipedia. This way, including interwikipedia
links would also be easier for editors.
