*This "Google, excluding Language, Country" template is based on the [[Template:Google#See_also | Template:Google series of templates]]. See [[Wikipedia:Search engine test]] for a tutorial on using search engines.

==Usage==

*This takes three parameters: (1) a search phrase, (2) a language prefix, and (3) a top-level domain suffix. It creates a Google search link for the search phrase (1), omits web sites with the specified [[ISO_639-1|ISO_639-1 language-code web site prefix]] (2) (e.g. the <nowiki>http://es.</nowiki> prefix for Spanish Wikipedia), and omits web sites with the specified [[List_of_Internet_top-level_domains#Country_code_top-level_domains|top-level domain country code suffix]] (3) (e.g. the Argentine suffix "ar", see example below).
*Use this template—on an article ''Talk'' page, Wikipedia: page, or in your User: space—to produce an external link that allows you to Google for a phrase but exclude sites with a specified language code prefix and/or country code suffix.
*It is recommended (but not required) that you [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|SUBST:]] this template.

=== Do not use in articles ===
{{Warning|Do not use this template in [[WP:WIAA|articles]] (as Google search links [[WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided|are not appropriate in articles]]). The template is only for [[Help:Talk page|talk pages]] and other process pages ([[WP:HD|Help desk]], [[WP:PROJ|WikiProjects]], etc.). The template will produce an error if you attempt to use it in an article.}}

==Example==

*For the tennis player [[Facundo_Argüello_(tennis)|Facundo Argüello]] from (Spanish-speaking) Argentina, research how his name is spelled in reliable English sources. The search results should include articles with the word "tennis" but ''not'' the word "tenis" (the Spanish-language spelling), omit [[ISO_639-1|Spanish-language web sites prefixed with "es"]] (<nowiki>http://es.</nowiki> etc., like Spanish Wikipedia), omit web sites with the [[List_of_Internet_top-level_domains#Country_code_top-level_domains|Argentine suffix "ar"]], and omit pages that cite "Wikipedia" or are on Wikipedia.org.
*It's possible to greatly simplify such a search by using this template: <code><nowiki>{{subst:google LC|Facundo Argüello|es|ar}}</nowiki></code> displays as the following clickable external link: {{google LC|Facundo Argüello|es|ar}}*Simply click the link then add the positive and negative match terms "tennis" and "-tenis" to the search string and repeat the search.
