'''To search FreekiWiki''':
*There should be a small search box at the side of the screen, marked ''search'', followed by '''Go''' and '''Search'''. Just type what you're looking for into the ''search box'' and press the ''Enter'' key. Or, click '''''Go''''' or '''''Search'''''.
The difference between '''Go''' (same as enter) and '''Search''' is that '''Go''' first looks for an article with the given string as its title, and if one is found immediately goes to the indicated article. If '''Go''' fails to find an article, it then automatically executes '''Search''' which is a full-text search for the given words. Important search tips:

*When '''FreekiWiki ''Search'' is disabled for performance reasons,''' '''''Go''' can still be used to look up titled pages.''

* ''Don't search for '''only''' words in quotes''. Try the search without quotes first. If that's not good enough, put as many words as possible outside the quotes or add some more to narrow the search.

* ''While '''Go''' is usually, but not always, case insensitive, '''Search''' is '''always''' case insensitive.'' More detail about case sensitivity is provided [[#Case sensitivity|below]].

* '''''Search''' is treated as a secondary function of the MediaWiki software'' and is sometimes '''unreliable''' and even completely disabled for performance reasons. If you can't find something you're expecting to find, please try an external search engine.

''Part of this page has been copied to [[Wikipedia:Searching]] and adapted for FreekiWiki in general. When you want to edit the text, compare the two pages to see where the edit can best be made.''
