As for search and go, well my preference for a long time has been that we should remove the "search" button from the sidebar, to make it harder to find and thus reduce the request rate. Go is much faster than search, if it manages to find a title match without sending you on to the full text search. Most readers don't know the difference, and if they did, they would click "go" in the great majority of cases.
Second. All in favor?
Not quite - make it a "go" button, but still *call* it "Search." Because something everyone looks for on coming to a site is where to search.
Excellent point.
Ratified as amended. :-)
And while I'm here: let me restate my pleasure with how the Mediawiki page renders on my CSS-less Blackberry, and pray it to continue that way...
