Tools: prefix
editprotect Since we have a prefix lets use it, change the following code From: Crosswiki linksearch To : Crosswiki linksearch Which changes Crosswiki linksearch to Crosswiki linksearch. —Dispenser (talk) 05:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't anticipate any objections to this; implemented and double-checked, seems to work fine. Please let me know if any problems come up. And thanks, Dispenser. – Luna Santin  (talk) 12:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Updated toolserver link
editprotected (per Village pump (technical))

The toolserver link in the text here needs to be changed to ~eagle/crosswiki.php. The current link is invalid, and returns a 404.

Replace "To search links to pages on this site" with "To search for external links to pages on this site", to clarify that this does not find internal links to pages -- Gurch (talk) 11:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Case-sensitive?
This was added in May 2007, is this statement obsolete? I do not observe this to be case-sensitive. — AlexSm 21:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


 * wiktionary.org/wiki/Mo gives no results, wiktionary.org/wiki/mo five. What did you try?--Patrick (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I have to admit I only tested the donain part, because that's what people search most often. I think it would be nice to rephrase this, stating that only the URL "path" is case-sensitive. If you decide to do that, please also fix "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" part, it looks very strange on two lines. — AlexSm 16:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I added "after the first slash (/)", because Linksearch is also case-sensitive w.r.t. a query string. "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" is on a separate line for easy copying to the input box.--Patrick (talk) 07:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Spelling
Can the spelling of "specification" be fixed please. The first c is missing at the moment. --Prh47bridge (talk) 07:53, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Per mw:Help:Linksearch, searching for the site you're on gives you incomplete results, so this example is confusing and inappropriate: for example, “*.wikipedia.org”. To search for external links to pages on this site, start with
 * en.wikipedia.org/

Change it to e.g. for example, "*.wikimedia.org". To search for external links to pages on Meta-Wiki, start with
 * meta.wikimedia.org/

(Also the capital "MW:" in the last interlink gives me shivers, but that may be just me.) Nardog (talk) 13:21, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

The sentence ”This functionality is, however, provided by linksearch.“ should be (temporarily) removed. The service returns HTTP/503 Service Unavailable; I wrote to the maintainer User:Giftpflanze but they seem to be inactive. The link to the service was already removed in German language Wikipedia almost a year ago. Thanks, Killarnee (talk) 02:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Removed the link and pulled the "no longer" part since there is no reference time where it did work. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
