RE: [Wikitech-l] wikipedia lookup button

Does this work for you? It does seems to work for me. Not very thoroughly tested... I may be re-inventing the wheel here but I haven't seen this before on Wikipedia either. Just create any old bookmark in your links & then copy and paste this text into the Location / URL box (should be all one line). Firefox: javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter word to find in Wikipedia:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com… +Feeling+Lucky&q=site:wikipedia.org+'+escape(Qr) IE: javascript:Qr=document.selection.createRange().text;if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt(' Enter word to find in Wikipedia:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com… +Feeling+Lucky&q=site:wikipedia.org+'+escape(Qr) I just stole the m-w one and hooked up the google I'm Feeling Lucky, so it may not work every time. I'm not sure there's a good way to guarantee that it would work correctly every time, since we are currently relying on Google for searching. If you remove the "btnI=I\'m+Feeling+Lucky" part of the URL then you could go to the google results for that search. Not one-click, but it would give you the chance to pick a good result. I tried a few examples, and there are problems, for instance, searching on "Ottawa Lynx" returns the "Ottawa" page and not the "Ottawa Lynx" page as I wanted. It seemed to work as anticipated for a few other searches I tried though. Regards and hope you find this useful! (Actually, I think I am going to find it very useful too!)
