It's definitely '''not''' easy to find articles without Wikipedia's search facility. I just typed in "[[continental breakfast]]", not knowing that such an article does not exist (yet) and was referred to [[Departments of the Continental Army]] (!). This is going to drive away both casual users and regular contributors. If you type in "[[continental breakfast]]" you should at least get one of the "breakfast" articles rather than a "continental" one.

Yeah -- getting around is definitely cut down to zero without searching. At least add a google redirect again Brion, Erik... -- have google do the work for a while. (of course theres probably a very good reason to not do this :)

PS - watchlists -- do they bog things down if lots of people are caching *all their edits under their watchlist?
