==== Prefixed tilde character for forced search ====
{{anchor|forced search}}<!-- Please leave anchors in place. Section redirects point to them. -->
{{short|H:FORCE}}

To force a search rather than navigate directly to a matching page, include a tilde character {{kbd|~}} anywhere in the query. It always takes you to the search results page, never jumping to a single title. For example, the misspelling {{kbd|similiar}} is [[WP:Redirect|redirected]] to the [[:Similarity]]<!--Intentional disambiguation link.--> article (or, in this case, disambiguation page); but prefixing a tilde, {{kbd|{{search link|~similiar prefix:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|~similiar}}}}, lists pages containing that misspelling.
