Searching Willipedia is not as user-friendly as searching, say, 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 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 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).
