The SearchThumbs extension simply adds an image thumbnail next to each search result to help users identify the page and decide if it's what they're looking for. It requires Extension:PageImages to work and has no configuration options.

Installation[edit]

  • Install Extension:PageImages
  • Download and move the extracted SearchThumbs folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SearchThumbs
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'SearchThumbs' );
    
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
