As suggested by @Samwalton9 and @Astinson, create a user script that adds a "Search in The Wikipedia Library" link next to Wikipedia's Vector 2022, Vector Legacy and Special:Search search forms.

You can install and try the user script by adding the following line to your https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MyPage/common.js file:
mw.loader.load( '//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Diegodlh/search-wpl.js?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[:meta:User:Diegodlh/search-wpl.js]]

Tool is cool, but it seems not entirely compliant with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_gadget_developers_on_Wikimedia_wikis

@diegodlh: Thanks for participating in the Hackathon! We hope you had a great time.
- If this task was being worked on and resolved at the Hackathon: Please change the task status to resolved via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown, and make sure that this task has a link to the public codebase.
- If this task is still valid and should stay open: Please add another active project tag to this task, so others can find this task (as likely nobody in the future will look back at the Hackathon workboard when trying to find something they are interested in).
- In case there is nothing else to do for this task, or nobody plans to work on this task anymore: Please set the task status to declined.
Thank you,
Phabricator housekeeping service

Thank you for your feedback, @Lofhi. This was meant to be a quick prototype, but I agree it would be good to have it meet the Gadget and User script recommendations more tightly. I haven't had the chance to check them in detail yet.

@Samwalton9, do you think it would make sense to tag this task with The-Wikipedia-Library until me or somebody else has the time to make the necessary changes?
