I recently came across a wiki which implements a more useful way to
access (search) pages by actually implementing a form of fuzzy
(approximate) bookmarking. Perhaps this is a way to improve the
userfriendliness of MediaWiki, too.
I filed bugzilla
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883 for this.

From the content:
To search for the word "cgi" in all page titles, you can use the URL:
http://purl.org/tcl/wiki/cgi
To search for this word in all titles and in the full texts, use:
http://purl.org/tcl/wiki/cgi* (in general: an regular expression)
But there's a little more to it. That last URL is actually a form of
fuzzy bookmarking. There is no web page called "search". Wikit presents
its contents as if it were a directory with pages, but its all smoke and
mirrors...
