=== Search Wikipedia from any web page === To get Wikipedia search results while on any ''[[web page]]'', you can temporarily set your web browser's search box to become a Wikipedia search search box, even though you're on another web site {{crossref|pw=y|(see [[Help:Searching from a web browser]])}}. This trick removes the need to first navigate to Wikipedia from a web page, and {{em|then}} do the search or navigation. It is a temporary change, and then you put it back to your preferred web-search engine. You can just drag items on the page the name up to the web browser search box {{em|while on any web site}}, even in the lower sections of a Wikipedia page, where no search box is immediately available. You can reach all twelve [[WP:SISTER|sister projects]] the same way by using interwiki prefixes in the web browser's search box. For example, you can go straight to a [[Wiktionary]] entry by using the prefix <code>wikt:</code> from your web-search box.<!-- -->
