needs to be updated to have site:google.com/newspapers

"Perhaps the link should be removed all together until a suitable replacement can be found?"Yep, I agree with that, but I'll wait for another day before requesting the link be removed in order for others to see the VPM thread and try to modify {{ X10}} to produce a useful search result. As it is now, that search is essentially useless. Thanks for the help. 64.40.54.139 ( talk) 06:24, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to have a link to CORE, which is an open access metadata repository. It has a search api and takes url requests for search terms. CORE would let us find relevant open access articles.
Here's an example url: http://core.kmi.open.ac.uk/search/cancer would pull up open access articles about Cancer.
Is this within scope? How difficult would it be to add this to the multi template? Thanks! Ocaasi t | c 16:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
It would be very useful to add a WorldCat search to the template. https://www.worldcat.org/search?qt= Cwobeel ( talk) 14:30, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
It seems that the Google News Archive Search is functional again ( http://news.google.com/newspapers). Perhaps this should be added back to the template. An idea is to include Google News search ( http://news.google.com) along with the Archive Search in the template. NorthAmerica 1000 06:16, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Currently {{
Find sources multi/gnewsrecent}} produces [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22QUERY%22&tbm=nws Google News recent]
. The URL here is bogus: it is resolved to standard Google Search (not even Google News) page with search box pre-filled with "QUERY". I tried to identify what "Google News recent" was supposed to mean on

This template can produce links to a number of Google services, such as Google search and Google Books. These Google services support HTTPS, and using HTTPS for links to these services would provide increased privacy and security for users. To use HTTPS for Google services, the following changes would need to be made:
http://www.google.com/search?as_eq=wikipedia&q=
should be changed to https://www.google.com/search?as_eq=wikipedia&q=
instead.http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=
should be changed to https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template use HTTPS when generating a link to JSTOR. The JSTOR search appears to
support HTTPS. In
Find sources multi/jstor, please change http://www.jstor.org/
to https://www.jstor.org/
instead. Thanks. --

Unnamed params 3 through 5 serve no purpose, and should be dropped. Currently, |1=
provides "exact search" (double-quoted search) capability, and |2=
provides unquoted (i.e. "normal") search. The other search terms provide no additional functionality not already provided by the second search term. This is a near copy of the proposal at
Template talk:Talk header#Proposal: drop search_term3 and search_term4.
If the proposal is approved, here's a suggested implementation plan:
