This is of dubious value. Why don't you trust in the reader use wikipedia's search feature?
Uh? The same argument can be made about links in Wikipedia articles to other Wikipedia articles. Easily accessible links is the whole point of HTML and the web. Use the Wikipedia search feature indeed.

No.

No ;) I still believe contents is more important; all these links, esp. these navigation links are superfluous. A good search engine is all you need -- frankly, navigations links are a waste of resources (time and bandwidth). I admit, it nice to click around but going this way you usually will not find the info you are looking for.

Google, our best search engine, works only because of all those links on Web pages.
Within Wikipedia, the links are how people know there's an article on a subject, sometimes one they wouldn't have thought to consult. They're also how we keep our articles to a manageable size.
