 * NB This page ootlines the biggit-in rake function. Ae wiki micht hae mair detailed information aneat available opties n featurs enabled oan it, fer example the Rake heelp page oan the Ingils Wikipædia.

The quickest wa tae fynd information in is tae luik it up directlie. In the Vector skin (the defaut MediaWiki skin sin MW 1.16), naur the tap richt o ilka page thaur's ae  kist wi ae magneefiein glaiss icon

Enter yer rake terms n press Enter or clap the magneefiein glaiss icon. Gif ae page haes the same title aes whit ye entered, ye jump straicht til that page. Itherwise, it rakes aw pages oan the wiki (wi some restreections, see ablo), n gies ae leet o airticles that matched yer rake terms, or ae message that nae matches were fond.

In ither skins, (n in Vector gif yer wiki sets the $wgVectorUseSimpleSearch confeeguration vareeable til fause) the rake kist haes twa buttons oan its richt labeled
 * : clapin this (or pressin Enter) will tak ye til the page, gif it exeests.
 * : clapin this rakes airticles oan the wiki

Hou it wairks

 * It Rakes aw pages oan the wiki wi some restreections.
 * The airticle content is rakit in its raw (wikitex) form - i.e., it rakes the tex that kiths in the eedit kist whan ye clap “”, na the rendered page. This means that content comin fae aen incluied template will na be picked up, bit the tairget o pipet links will be.
 * The rake isna case-senseetive, sae 'MediaWiki', 'mediawiki' n 'MEDIAWIKI' aw gie the same ootcome.


 * The rake functionalitie can be conseedered tae operate oan hale wairds, separated bi spaces or ither punctuation maurks. Sae gif yer rake term incluids the waird 'buik', the ootcomes will na incluid pages that yinlie hae the waird 'buiks' or 'buiklet'.  N gif yer rake term incluids the term 'inter', the ootcomes will na incluid pages that yinlie hae the waird 'international', bit thay micht incluid pages that hae the term 'inter-national'.
 * The ootcomes will yinlie incluid pages that contain aw the wairds in yer rake.
 * Ye can rake fer ae phrase uisin dooble quotes. A phrase can be considered tae conseest o hale wairds (case-insensiteeve), sae the phrase 'Prime Minister' will na be foond bi ae rake fer "ime Min", bit it will be foond bi ae rake fer "pRIME mINISTER".

Restreectin the rake
Gif ye clap the “” button wioot fillin oniething in, ye'll be taen til “Special:Rake”, that gies ye extra rakin opties (available fae onie rake ootcomes leet ava)

Ye micht fynd it uissfu tae restreect ae rake til pages wiin ae parteecular namespace e.g., yinlie rake wiin the     pages. Check the namespaces that ye need fer this rake.

Bi defaut yinlie the namespaces speceefied in yer preferances will be raked. Logged-in uisers can chynge thair preferances tae speceefie the namespaces that thay want tae rake bi defaut. This can be dun bi selectin n deselectin kists in the ”rake” section o uiser preferances.
