's existence should be justifiable on the same basis, since both templates work similarly, with  adding more options to generate a Google custom search form.  displays the same warning that  displays when an editor attempts to use it in an article; thus the template should be robust against that form of misuse. --Teratornis 23:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In case anyone wants to delete this template 

message: When using  to search namespaces or subpage trees on Wikipedia, one can avoid having to copy the appropriate chunk of URL-encoded site and page identifier by using some tricks from Help:Magic words#Namespaces and URLs and Help:Variable#Constants. Compare the following two equivalent template expressions, which search Wikipedia talk:Help desk and [&from=Help_desk its subpages]:
Type this                                                                                                              	To get this	What it produces, or searches for
	           	Blank form to search the Wikipedia Help desk talk page and its archives
     	           	Blank form to search the Wikipedia Help desk talk page and its archives
Unfortunately, the "simplified" syntax tends to be a little longer. I might try modifying  to detect when the second argument is the title of a page on Wikipedia which exists (see: m:Help:ParserFunctions#.23ifexist:), rather than a chunk of a URL. If the argument is a page title (such as Wikipedia talk:Help desk, then the template could automatically convert it into the URL chunk that the Google customer search requires. Then  would correctly handle simpler expressions like this:

The links generated by this template do not work in each case that I've tried. That is to say, I cannot find any working cases, but may not have tested every possibility. Consider the WP:PUMP page, try the "search" links in the five boxes below the "Village pump sections" heading. Each of these fails with the error "We're sorry... ... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now. See Google Help for more information.". I have found that this may be fixed simply by altering the base URL on the  template from http://www.google.com/custom?domains= to http://www.google.com/search?domains=
Is this acceptable as a general change? --Redrose64 (talk) 11:45, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that. I had noticed the same error recently as well, but I thought I might be having a network problem. I would say go ahead and make the fix, unless someone else knows more about this problem. --Teratornis (talk) 16:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
