Try using google. It's usually months out of date; you have to put
site:wikipedia.org in there manually to find anything that's actually
on the Wikipedia; it comes up with gobs of results, many of which are
in languages you can't read. And it's fast! For instance, according
to google, my search came up in no time at all:
Your search - "teng hsiao ping"
site:wikipedia.org - did not match any
documents.
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.
Also, you can try Google Answers for expert help with your search.
How easy is that?

browsers when the problem's with the server.)

Try using google. It's fast; it doesn't cause Wikipedia to slow down;
it
