I've just been pointed to this - http://futef.com/
It seems to search on keywords, and then produce a related list of categories for browsing as well as the keyword results. I haven't had much of a chance to play around with it, but it's certainly promising - any thoughts?

Hmmm, I played with a couple of searches on this and almost never, the "main article" about the search came on this page first.
"google" -> first article: google bomb. "groklaw" -> SCO vs. Reality "Jimmy Wales" -> James
and so on. Nice concept, fast results, poor quality.

Could be.
... but a lot better than the wikipedia-search.
"google" -> more or less ONLY Google "Jimmy Wales" -> more or less ONLY Jimmy Wales

Category intersections are currently being debated on wikitech-l; consensus seems to be that there's no straightforward way to implement them, with MySQL at least.
Futef seems to handle it quite well, however -- what American animated television series were made in the 2000s and are shown on Fox?
