I type "en<tab>" and then enter my query (in Chrome, at least). Doesn't get much better than that.
However, if I didn't have that feature, I'd probably use Google anyway. Tweaking the CSS won't change that. They'd really have to make Wikipedia's search kick ass in some other way.
- pjscott 15y agoDoes Chrome's search give you realtime term completion? If you start typing in the search box on Wikipedia, it will give you suggestions that are the titles of articles. It's a substantial usability improvement over just typing something, since it gives you the opportunity to skip directly to a page more often, rather than going through the vigorously mediocre search results page.
- DieBuche 15y agoOf course it does.
- pjscott 15y agoHuh. Maybe I need to update Chrome, because it's not working for me. Weird. EDIT: It was just a hiccup when I checked; the problem is gone now. Thank you for pointing that out; from now on I'll use this method to search Wikipedia.
- ramidarigaz 15y agoTo echo DeBuche, yes, it does.
