Manual:Interface/Searchresulttext

This page documents a system message, a wiki page that defines part of the MediaWiki interface. See also the default documentation.

MediaWiki:Searchresulttext provides general help text at Special:Search when results are displayed. It is wrapped in a div with class "mw-searchresult" (since MediaWiki 1.15 ).
