Forum:Search Bar

I've made a search bar using html in Isle of Tune Wiki like shown on the main page, but how can I make it so it searches exact match? So far, what I've got in there is: &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang S a m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang W a n g ] 08:36, February 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Try using mw:Extension:InputBox.

I knew about this a few months ago, but how can I use html to make it search? So far, the existing source in there is:

 * Try putting that code in a page like <tt>MediaWiki:CustomSearch</tt> and then put wikicode  on a page and see if it works. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8 Feb 2012 3:22 PM Pacific

That's what I did, but I am looking to how can I change the html in MediaWiki:Search Bar so that it searches exact match instead of fulltext &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 02:33, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now the problem is that it has buttons which I don't want &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 08:31, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything in w:c:isleoftune:MediaWiki%3ASearch_Bar. If you meant w:c:isleoftune:MediaWiki%3ASearchBar, then it appears you figured out how to get rid of the buttons. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Feb 2012 3:46 PM Pacific
 * Then do you know how to search exact match instead of fulltext in that search bar? &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 09:43, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * You'd probably need extra code since you're using <tt>Special:Search</tt> (aka wiki search). In theory exact match would just be putting &quot; (double quotes) around the search text, but you can't really do that with . -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 14 Feb 2012 10:15 AM Pacific
 * I don't quite understand what you mean &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 09:24, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

I've already changed it to: <form name="bodyCentralSearch" id="bodyCentralSearch" class="bodyCentralSearch" action="/wiki/Special:Search"> <input type="hidden" name="search" size="50" placeholder="Search..." autocomplete="off" accesskey="f" method="get" style="border:1px solid #999; padding: 10px; width: 500px; font-size: 20px;" id="bodyCentralSearchInput" /> <input type="hidden" value="0" checked="checked" name="fulltext" /> Then what do I need to change? &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/Message_Wall:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 11:55, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * What I was trying to say is that you probably can't do an exact match search with just HTML and you'd need to find an expert on wiki search (<tt>Special:Search</tt>; which is kind of horrible on Wikia, BTW) to help you figure out a workaround. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Feb 2012 1:53 PM Pacific
