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. Tom

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...
