Veering off-topic, as always, are you able to determine how many of
these are intentional and how many are a case where the user probably

and "go" buttons, "&go=Go" in the url, etc.)
Of course this makes the inappropriate assumption that more than a
small fraction of site *readers* are familiar enough with the mw
software to know the difference.
But the point I was trying to make is that our built-in search sucks
and if anybody who knows what they're doing is looking for something
specific on Wikipedia they'll skip that step and go straight to google
anyway.
