|

Hi,
is there a search script out there which searches through wikipedia sites (for example the biggest one http://en.wikipedia.org) and prints the results in the channel?
Thanks |

Why that?! Searches "from outside" are forbidden or what does this mean exactly (on wikipedia there is a search function)?
Do you have a url where this restriction is shown?
Thanks |

Ok, I see....
But there are many wiki-sites out there so this search script is still very interesting I think
All wiki sites use the http://www.mediawiki.org/ php script so all sites are "looking the same"! |
