- mediaphile, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Or if you use a browser like Firefox that uses Google's I'm Feeling Lucky feature in its location bar, you can just type "wiki [your search term]" and you'll usually get it on the first try. If you're using Firefox or Wikipedia, you could always just visit Wikipedia and right-click in the search form and give the search a keyword like "w" or "wiki". Then you can search it directly from your location bar anytime just by typing the keyword followed by the search term.
- sexybobo, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I have yet to not be able to find something i want on wikipedia by the simple "wiki [your search term]" always ether the first or second item in google. For that matter a lot of the time if you just type in the search term the wiki article will be in the top 5 results.
- PiGuy, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I normally just typed in the search term followed by the word 'wiki'. Something relevant comes up in the first few results just about every single time.
