    wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special : .mw-search-results a

    This will cycle through search results on any English-language wikipedia search site. (Not just en.wikipedia.org, but also, for example, simple.wikipedia.org)

    Change the part after title= to work on other languages, e.g. for german make it wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial

    You could also get rid of the part after title= to make it work for all languages, but that could have unexpected results on non-search pages. For example, if you do it on an edit page, you’ll get “Couldn’t find any elements on the page.”

    I modified the selector a little bit. The ‘:’ in Special:Search was leading to some parsing issues. Thanks!
