DEFAULTSORT - Searching For Articles in Categories

Searching For Articles in Categories

For more details on this topic, see Help:Searching#Syntax.

In addition to browsing through hierarchies of categories, it is possible to use the search tool to find specific articles in specific categories. To search for articles in a specific category, type incategory:"CategoryName" in the search box.

An "OR" can be added to join the contents of one category with the contents of another. For example, enter

incategory:"Suspension bridges" OR incategory:"Bridges in New York City"

to return all pages that belong to either (or both) of the categories, as here.

Note that using search to find categories will not find articles which have been categorized using templates. This feature also doesn't return pages in subcategories.

    It was not sufficient for the disquiet of our minds that we disputed at the end of seventeen hundred years upon the articles of our own religion, but we must likewise introduce into our quarrels those of the Chinese. This dispute, however, was not productive of any great disturbances, but it served more than any other to characterize that busy, contentious, and jarring spirit which prevails in our climates.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    all the categories which we employ to describe conscious mental acts, such as ideas, purposes, resolutions, and so on, can be applied to ... these latent states.
