 | This essay contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints. Consider these views with discretion. |  | This page in a nutshell: Essays can be searched in several ways. This essay lists over 800 other essays, to allow searching the titles and added keywords. New essays auto-index in group "W". | There are over 800 Wikipedia essays (June 2009), but only a few categories to help separate them for searching. The titles are listed below, to allow searching for particular words/syllables in titles. After many titles, some keywords have been added in parentheses "( )" such as "(verifiability)" to help find that topic. So, to search essays, use: -
- text-search of the titles (below) for a match; or
- text-search of keywords (added below) for a match; or
- perhaps use wiki-search Special:Search, including words "Wikipedia essays" (with your other search-words) to hunt a topic inside an essay (but it matches many non-essays).
- see essays in Category:Wikipedia essays (currently 1,012 pages).
- look for new essays auto-indexed under "Wikipedia:...".
By default, new essays indexed into the "W" group, as the default category placement by "{{essay}}" (during 2008). Also, many essays are merely half-page initial thoughts.
The age-old concept of "associative retrieval" has led to search engines that can scan page contents for multi-word matches. Some text editors, decades ago, could search for multiple words within a bracket of lines, but today, most people just use a search engine to find multiple words on a local webpage (that has been submitted to a world search-engine for indexing). Perhaps, some decade, many computers will search for a multi-word bracket on any selected pages. Fortunately, the wiki-search option (in the Wikipedia leftside menu), allows multiword search of pages, but it takes a lot of experience to pinpoint a search. [edit] List of Wikipedia essays The following list came from Category:Wikipedia_essays (10-Dec-2008), sorted into alpha order. Some entries might be bogus, incorrectly linked to the category.
