Could people please check the multi-language

http://www.wikipedia.org/tools/wikisearch.php? I get at the moment all kinds
of search results covering one another, making the result completely
unreadable.
Looks okay to me. Browser, version, OS, screenshot?
Never mind, it looks okay again now. Don't know what was going on.
As a completely different, yet for me related issue: Would it be possible to
allow a subsequence word search? That would be quite useful for searching
interlanguage links, since one could look for America, Amerika, Amerique and
whatever other variations there are with Ameri*, or for Chemie, Chemics,
Chemica etc. with chemi*. If it is possible but too slow, consider allowing
it for title search only.
Subsequence word search would be definitely useful,
however it might be
also useful to translate query according to language of the database
searched. We could use (in future ?) word and phrase equivalents (they are not
necessarily translations) from interwiki links.
