Can we have the search box back?Follow
...or some other easy way to search? I discovered how hard navigation is when I tried looking for a quest ("Oooh, Shinies!", obtained from groftah in Shattrath lower city). I finally gave up and went to Wowhead, where the info was instantly available (as it should be here). Please note that I also got nothing back when I tried searching the wiki.
Did you try the search box in the top right corner?

That is odd. I put Oooh, Shinies! in the search line at the top right and got:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/search.html?q=Oooh%2C+Shinies%21
which takes me RIGHT to the quest page.
I didn't even notice it was there. Black box on a real dark background...
In all honesty, that is a pretty stupid place to have the search box. You'd be a lot better off with it in the bar at the top, next to the game info and all that.

Most apps and websties will have the search box in the upper right. It just needs to be made more prominent.

The black box would be fine, if it was moved to the light tan menu bar. Placement would still be correct, and it would be prominent However, speaking of "accepted standards", isn't the accepted standard for text input boxes white background with black text?

I still think the search box needs to be made larger, since the whole Wikibaseâ„¢ thing is what they are trying to push. (It does seem to be the key to their new brand identity). If it was that important, you would think making access to it more prominent would be a key concern...

If I am not mistaken, the current search box is done through javascript, so you have a lot more options.
