Searching

Hi Redwolf24, Thanks for the welcome. I actually joined Wikipedia a while back but hadn't logged in when I posted material. I wasn't sure why one even needed to log in, but now see that it allows users to follow the history somewhat more precisely.
My current question is how one can search ALL of Wikipedia for a specific name, term, phrase to find out what's available.

For example, if I wanted to search for Warren Burger, fomer Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, I'd probably find an individual listing for him. However, there might be no main entry for a person even though that person might be mentioned numerous times in articles about other things. And even if there is an entry for what you're looking for, there's no way to find all those other mentions unless links have already been established. Is there a way to do what I'm asking that I don't see?

I'm also wondering how to get the same effect as the HTML anchor code <a name="example"> which allows a user to jump directly to a specific spot on a page? Your command <div id="example">an id attribute</div> inserts a hard return <br> when one inserts it in the middle of text, forcing one to use it at the beginning or end of a paragraph. --Snsnews 3 July 2005 06:28 (UTC)

You're very welcome for the welcome. Now for the questions... When you say search ALL of Wikipedia you mean like user pages and templates and everything? If so then when you search for something, scroll to the bottom of the search page and check all the boxes. If you meant to see pages that mention Warren Burger then go to his page and click "What links here" on the toolbox on the left side of the page underneath the searchbox. Oh, no way to find the pages unless links have been established... Most pages do link.

As for the jumping down to a specific part on a wikipage, just use [[User:Redwolf24#Heroes]] (Test it out even-->User:Redwolf24#Heroes) of course that's an example. Use the page then the pound sign (#) to whatever section. I think I've answered your questions. If not then reply. Redwolf24 3 July 2005 06:40 (UTC)

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 9 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
