If you're on chrome and have visited wikipedia before, it will let you search it directly. In a new tab, I type "en", which autocompletes to "http://en.wikipedia.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/", then press tab to move forward one UI element, highlighting "Search Wikipedia (en)" then type my search string.
I have a bunch of the autosuggest and omnibar stuff turned off though, I don't know how well this works on a stock install.
- cosmotic 5y agoThat undiscoverable, hard to learn behavior is a poor excuse for search engines hiding what should be the first and most prominent result.
- nieve 5y agoWhereas on firefox I just added a search shortcut for "wp" that sends the rest of what I type into Wikipedia's _own_ search. I used wp since I don't care about Wordpress, but you could always do just w, wiki, or whatever.
