DasBlog Content Filter For Wikipedia

I created a DasBlog Content filter for creating Wikipedia links. DasBlog Content filters are simple search and replace items. It does stuff like replace ; -) with <img alt="; -)" src="smilies/wink.gif"> (I inserted a space after ; so it would not get performed) It can also do RegEx patterns as used in this example.

I created a derivative of their Google search that searches Wikipedia instead. The Find Pattern is

\$w$(?<expr>[\w\s\d]+)$

RegEx patterns.

This allows you to type $ w(Microsoft) and it will create Microsoft. (I inserted a space after $ so it would not get performed)

The imbedded HTML is:

<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Microsoft”>Microsoft</a>

Multi Word with spaces works great too. If you want it to go to a page it must be exact and unique.
