I can see where breaking up the big tips pages could be very helpful.
Maybe I (like you) can do it sometime when I've not got anything else to
do. (Ha!)

I think the search box on the wiki actually does search only the wiki, but
it includes results from unrelated categories--e.g., RPG, .NET, SEU, DFU,
etc. What would be nice is to be able to select the category(/categories)
to be included in the search. A good example is searching for 'Find'. The
desired results are included in the list, but there's a lot of irrelevant
stuff, too.

I'll make a note to ask David about what might be possible. I'm sure
the wiki's search box is limited to the wiki itself, but in general I've
found that pretty much ANY site's own search engine gives worse results
than Google does when Google is limited to site:aaa.ccc

Does google allow a limiting a search to something like 'site:
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSC'? I don't know if that would even
really help as the results I would be looking for might be under something
else, but tagged with the category WDSC.

I'll tinker but I don't think so.
