Hi all!
I see at least one topic which Wikipedia covers but does not list in its search engine, that is [[Conditioning]]. I wrote that article long ago, so it should have been spidered.
Frankly, I think that it has been removed from the search engine index, a kind of censoring. You may ask why someone would do that - well, the article originally contained slightly off-topic and provocative information:
"Conditioning works the best when the poor individuum is not aware that it is being conditioned. <p> Societies use the technique of conditioning to a great extent because they need to push structures which stand opposite to what the virgin individuum wishes. The individuum is to be integrated, to loose a portion of his own will, emotionality and freedom. The manipulation of totalitaristic states (Nazis, Stalinism, etc) was often said to be the contrary of the western democracies, "the free world", but in my opinion the latter is not that much better.

Good lord. Will you please take a deep breath and relax?
If anyone wanted to "censor" your article, they could just click on 'Edit text of this page' and go at it. Such is wiki nature.
Whenever you wonder why some aspect of wikipedia sucks, it's because it sucks, and that's that. When it sucks, it's probably my fault. But there's no one out to get you, least of all ME.
I'm having trouble logging in right now -- I suspect the machine is heavily overloaded for some unknown reason. As soon as I can get in, I'll see if I can diagnose your problem.
I mean, my problem, with the search engine. Your problems are probably beyond me.

p.s. I'm sorry about this message, really I am. But, geez-o-pete.
