how to search.
Searching Willipedia is not as user-friendly as searching, say, [http://www.google.com Google]. For instance, searching for "'07" will not find all the students with '07 at the end of their names; it will, in fact, find nothing.
One way to get around that is just to search the wiki using Google. To do that, put your search term, and then put site:wso.williams.edu/wiki, all in the Google search text box. Here is an example of how you would [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=something+site%3Awso.williams.edu%2Fwiki search Willipedia for the word "something."]
 
If you are sure that what you are looking for is the name of an article, check out the listing of [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:Allpages all Willipedia pages]. It's a long page, and it's only bound to get longer, but then you can do a text search (Edit > Find).
