I don't agree with you here. My experience is that a good search mechanism
is necessary for the wiki to be useful. I keep forgetting on what page I
wrote something...
So I'd say that any wiki should make it easy to find the information you
are looking for. Btw, if we use an external search tool, how could I then
search for a specific instance of a markup? Wouldn't the search tool only
look at the generated HTML?
