Fast Wikipedia article lookup : Lifehacker

WikiWax is quick type-ahead search for Wikipedia articles.

Popular, collaborative online encyclopedia Wikipedia contains over
half a million articles about a wide range of topics and grows every
day. WikiWax uses as-you-type search to display Wikipedia articles that
match your search terms (similar to Google Suggest.)

For example, type in leet and you’ll get back over 20 possible articles, from leet speak to Leetsdale, Pennsylvania. Super-useful for Wikipedia junkies.

WikiWax Gods: can you display a total number of results for a query? And order results by total number of article edits?
