Well, I realize I'm a newbie and all... but <sniff> I guess I'll have to just reply to my own email since nobody will talk to me :-)

I just noticed the search button is now working, and working great! A big Thank You to the responsible developer!!

One followup newbie question: I didn't see the search "fix" announced on Wikipedia:Announcements - is there some other place that Wikipedia/software announcements are made? Or maybe there is another maillist with such announcements?

Thanks, Harris7

Hi,

In the "not found" screen ("No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search. Well, I would be trying a full text search here... Google and run a search on site:wikipedia.org -- the results will be outdated and incomplete, though.") wouldn't it be much friendlier to send the user directly to the following link? I think I copied this from the old search or "not found" screen:

http://www.google.com/custom? sa=Google+Search&domains=wikipedia.org&sitesearch= wikipedia.org
