I am building a community site using MediaWiki and

questions:
1) How do I protect, or preferably lock, the main page from user
editing? I've looked through the user guide and have yet to find a
how-to on that specifically.
If you're logged in as a sysop account, click the 'protect' tab on the page.
When you installed the wiki, it will have created a sysop account for
you. You can use that, or from that account you can mark other accounts
as sysop accounts. (If necessary you can poke in the database to mark a
user as sysop.) See:

2) How do I make the search tool in the left column
function like the
one in Wikipedia? I would like searchers to get an "Editing (search
terms)" result instead of "No Page Found" as is happening now.
