Tip of the moment... Wikipedia Search box - basic Vector skin, simplified search box. Note that an empty Search displays "Search". Monobook skin, search box format. Wikipedia has its own search engine, with its search box on every page. The search box will go to a given page name, but there are three ways to go to the search results page instead. If you activate the magnifying-glass icon (or the Search button) from an empty search box, you'll go to an empty search results page. If you start any query with the tilde character, it always generates search results, ~page name. Choose "Search for pages containing" from the page names that drop-down as you type (if you have JavaScript enabled). To access the suggestions that drop down as you type, click the mouse on them, or use ↓, or Tab ↹, to access them. At an empty Search display, there are filtering options for: Content pages – Search in (Article) Multimedia – Search for files Everything – Search of all content (including talk pages) Advanced – Search in custom namespaces Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Help:Searching   Help:Advanced search   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

Picture of the day

The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae, which is native to western North America. The trees grow to a height of around 20 to 100 metres (70 to 330 feet) and commonly reach 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter. The largest coast Douglas firs regularly live for more than 500 years, with the oldest specimens more than 1,300 years old. The cones are pendulous and differ from true firs as they have persistent scales. The cones have distinctive long, trifid (three-pointed) bracts, which protrude prominently above each scale. The cones become tan when mature, measuring 6 to 10 centimetres (2+1⁄2 to 4 inches) long for coastal Douglas firs. This photograph shows a young female cone of the variety Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir), cultivated near Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
