Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you perform search operations on Wikipedia directly from your desktop, without having to open your web browser.

It comes in handy in case you are working on different projects and need to document yourself about various subjects on Wikipedia. On the downside, you cannot copy the information to the clipboard.

The tool sports a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

Wikipedia gives you the possibility to carry out the searching operation by simply typing in the words in a dedicated pane.

The tool is able to retrieve data from Wikipedia and displays the search results and images as well.

The small window allows you to read only pieces of the entire information, and you can go to the previous or next page in order to read the article. What’s more, you can launch the Wikipedia webpage using your default web browser.

Since it doesn’t comprise any configuration settings, even rookies can master the process with just a few clicks. During our testing we have noticed that Wikipedia carries out a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, Wikipedia offers a simple software solution when it comes to helping you perform search operations on Wikipedia. It can be easily configured and installed by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
