This is my user page. Wiki is a whole new world to me. The information available is endless. I have been using Wikipedia Sandbox, which allows you to carry out experiments. You can edit pages. Content is not permanent the page is automatically cleaned every 12 hours, although it tends to be overwritten by other testing users much faster than that. --Spcc-jrob7021 (talk) 19:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Jessica Robinson

Searching

Most wikis offer at least a title search, and sometimes a full-text search. The scalability of the search depends on whether the wiki engine uses a database. Indexed database access is necessary for high speed searches on large wikis. Alternatively, external search engines such as Google www.google.com can sometimes be used on wikis with limited searching functions in order to obtain more precise results. However, a search engine's indexes can be very out of date (days, weeks or months) for many websites.
