#Go to Edit, Preferences.
#Expand the Navigator tree and choose Internet Search.
#Choose Wikipedia as your default search engine.
With Wikipedia selected as your default engine, searches can be conducted via the search sidebar tab, search box, or the web address bar.
===Search Wikipedia using a bookmarklet===
Works with: Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 6/7, Beonex Communicator.
Wikipedia can also be searched via a bookmarklet.
In Mozilla Firefox, follow these steps:
#Right click in the search field at the top of the page, and select "Add a Keyword for this Search".
#Enter "Wikipedia Quicksearch" for the name.
#Enter "w" (without the quotes) for the keyword.
#Change the bookmark folder if you wish, and click "Add".
In Mozilla Suite, Netscape 6/7 and Beonex Communicator, follow these steps:
#Right click on the following web address and select "Bookmark this link": http://en.wiki-indonesia.club/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s
#Go to Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks. Choose the bookmark you have just created. Highlight the Bookmark and click Properties.
#In the dialogue that comes up, put a lowercase w in the keyword box.
#Click OK and close the properties box, then close the bookmark manager.
To search, go to the web address bar, enter "w <i>SEARCH_QUERY<i>" (without the quotes), and press enter.
===Search Wikipedia via an update to prefs.js===
Works with: K-Meleon.
[[K-Meleon]] has a search button that can be used to search Google. Wikipedia can also be searched. To switch search engines do these things:
#Close K-Meleon.
#Open up <tt>prefs.js</tt> with a text editor. The file should be in your <tt>K-Meleon\Profiles\PROFILE_NAME\RANDOM_STRING.slt\</tt> directory.
#Add this line, and save <tt>prefs.js</tt>.
user_pref("kmeleon.general.searchEngine", "http://en.wiki-indonesia.club/wiki/Special:Search?search=");
Open up K-Meleon and press the search button to search Wikipedia. To go back to Google or to use another search service, edit <tt>prefs.js</tt> and delete this line:
user_pref("kmeleon.general.searchEngine", "http://en.wiki-indonesia.club/wiki/Special:Search?search=");
Make sure K-Meleon is closed before editing prefs.js.
==Advanced: Wikipedia search field for Opera browser==
Both [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] 6 and 7 use a customizable text file called search.ini. This file should only be edited while Opera is not running.
The following example replaces one of the existing pre-defined [[search engine]]s. It is up to the user to avoid conflicts of shortcut key (key=). By default 'w' is taken by the download.com search, so either this or the Wikipedia one should be changed. Furthermore the 'Search Engine ##' should be replaced with a free number: '12' is free by default. The Search.ini editor makes editing trivial (see external link).
<pre>
[Search Engine ##]
Name=&Wikipedia
URL=http://www.wiki-indonesia.club/w/wiki.phtml?search=%s
Query=
Key=w
Is post=0
Has endseparator=0
Encoding=utf-8
Search Type=8
</pre>
Most importantly, in 7.0, you should back up your customized search.ini because the file is overwritten by the Opera installer. This is no longer true in 7.10 and later.<br>
In Opera 6 and 7.0, the menu accelerator letter is defined by the & in the name. In current versions the accelerator is automatically generated and may no longer be the same as the key.

*[http://www.schrode.net/opera/search/search_ini.html How to edit Opera's search.ini] (recommended reading prior to hand-editing search.ini)
===7.50 Preview===
With the current 7.50 Preview a new kind of search has been added, which no longer requires manual editing. This will create a button on the mainbar, which can then be put anywhere you wish, even in the start panel.<br>
See http://members.chello.nl/b.kroonspecker/opera/buttons.html for two Wikipedia search buttons and more info.
===Opera 8===
Opera 8 Appears to take a copy of the "search.ini" and load it into an internal buffer of some type. After editing the file with your new entry you must change the "File Version" at the top of the file to allow for your changes to be seen in the browser.
==Searching with TomeRaider==
After downloading the [[Wikipedia:TomeRaider database]] one can search the Wikipedia version offline. One can also search for parts of words.
==Searching the page history==
To search the text that appears only in the page history, you must [[special:export|export]] the text to [[XML]] format first.
==If you cannot find an appropriate page on Wikipedia==
If there is no appropriate page on Wikipedia, consider [[Wikipedia:How to start a page|creating a page]], since [[Welcome, newcomers|you]] can edit Wikipedia right now. Or consider adding what you were looking for to the [[Requested articles]] page. Or if you have a question to be answered by Wikipedia, ask it at the [[Wikipedia:Reference desk|Reference desk]].
