Adam, Please forward such complaints to me, I can't do anything if I'm
not getting bug reports from the field.

Wikipedia search of titles should be working for the Haiti deployment.
 Wikipedia full article text search was turned off.  If search is "not
working", then something is wrong since it should produce hits of
article titles.
