Typical Usage
<?plugin ExternalSearch
url="InterWiki or URL"
name="button text"
?>
Arguments
- url
- Specify a wiki from the InterWikiMap or a url. Any text entered by the user will be appended to the search url. The string placeholder '%s' can be used to insert a search query into the url rather than appending it.

- formsize
- Specify the input area size. (default: 30 characters)
