This script is based on an idea in the "Ideas" section of this website. Neil Lall (*wink*) said that the original Wikipedia Search is mostly down because of "performance" problems. So this is my inital try to fix that.

The search of wikipedia consists of two buttons: the first one leads you directoly to articles ("Go"), the second one to the fulltext-search ("Search"). I "hijacked" the second one, renamed it to "Google" and the only purpose is to guide your search to google.

THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST DARFT.
Later it'll be cool to add a site:wikipedia or something like that, but I didn't had the time to do it.

BTW: The first button of the wikipedia search is untouched by my script, so don't worry, you can use both: wikipedia and google to get your information.
