High Speed Wikipedia search
Please bear with me on this one, I know this is not really Mac or Design related, but since Wikipedia is in some way a very dominant factor in todays workflow, I thought I'd share this none the less
If you need to do research for school, for studying, for a new layout or if you just want to learn the history of the 'Frutiger' font, you can find it on wikipedia. However, searching on Wikipedia is sloooww. Wikipedia has giant archives and millions of daily visitors, the servers constantly reach their limit, at peak time's one has to wait literally up to 5-10 seconds until the search results arrive
Lumrix now offers a high-speed Wikipedia search. It's blazingly fast, even faster than Google. Which might be due to the fact that it's still a little-known service, but I suppose it's because they index the Wikipedia-database every oh-so-many minutes and don't do a live-query on the database.
I love this, immediately bookmarked it and hope that I don't forget to implement it into my daily workflow now.
