Hi,

Today I spotted one problem and one minor (?) glitch in the Wikipedia's internal search engine.

Using lynx to change the number of displayed entries gives "Bad request error".

I think the extra space character is the culprit.

http://www.wikipedia.com/w/wiki.phtml?search=History &limit=50&offset=0

Hmm, spaces should be escaped when they appear.

I looked up "History" and it was rather strange that "History of Asia" was not listed in article titles section but only in article text section.

Click "next 50", it's in there:
