Maybe we should recreate the category system like there are in so many other 
languages.  Then you can search within a category, which would have less 
items then the whole wikipedia? There could be a drop-down box with all of 
the main categories next to the search box, and you would have to choose a 
category. Or (seperate situation)  you could search the category name. This 
would search all of the sub category names too. Would this work?
