On our Wikipedia pages, notice how the toolbar follows you throughout your browsing, allowing for easier navigation. And, Wikipedia search is really bad :) Our research finds that most Wikipedia experts use their favorite search engine to search for Wikipedia articles, rather than the Wikipedia search itself. I'd encourage you to try Powerset for awhile as a Wikipedia alternative and let us know what you think!
