FYI:

You can now use Google to search the wiki.  While Google is pretty much 
guaranteed to be out of date, it might give you better results for 
certain types of searches than the built-in wiki search tool.

There is now an entry in the wiki sidebar (second from the top) with a 
link to a page that helps you do wiki searches.  To get there directly, 
go to
    http://wiki.osafoundation.org/twiki/bin/view/Chandler/GoogleWikiSearch
You can also just add "site:wiki.osafoundation.org" to a search from any 
Google search box to search the wiki.  For example, on the Google home 
page, you could type in
    "item clouds" journal site:wiki.osafoundation.org
if you were interested in finding pages about Item Clouds in wiki 
Journal pages.

   

The Web pages (e.g.http://www.osafoundation.org) now also have wiki 
searches at the bottom of the sidebar.
