Implements template {{Str find word}}.. This module looks for a word being present in a comma-separated list of words. It then returns a True or False value. By default, the True-value returned is the found word itself; the False-value is a blank string.
Words A 'word' is the character string between commas. This can be all characters and inner spaces: {{Str find word |source=alpha, foo bar sunday, bar |word=foo bar sunday}} (True) → foo bar sunday
Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular expression techniques are developed in theoretical computer science and formal language theory.

The algorithm attempts to find the same word, but in all its word endings. A fuzzy search will match a different word. Words (but not phrases) accept approximate string matching or "fuzzy search". A tilde ~ character is appended for this "sounds like" search. The other word must differ by no more than two letters. Not the first two letters.
A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator (URL) that assigns values to specified parameters. A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML document, choosing the appearance of a page, or jumping to positions in multimedia content.
Page titles and redirects can be searched with intitle:query, where query is the search string. The search results highlight occurrences in both the title and page content. Multiple intitle: filters may be used to search for words in titles regardless of order, or in different titles (i.e., redirects) for the same article.
A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.
