Quicksearch Wikipedia (and never get the wrong article)

Credits to Cogent Metal!
I’m guessing you’re tired of seeing this page on Wikipedia, right?
Well, what if I told you that I could give you a quicksearch method that would (almost) always bring you to the right page? I’ll tell you how.
1) Go to Google and right click on the search bar, then click “Add a keyword for this search”.
2) Name it something like “Wikipedia” (it doesn’t really matter what you name it, name it “turkey” for all I care), and make the keyword something you won’t forget, like “wiki” (that’s what I did) and click “Ok”.
3) Go to the bookmarks menu and right click on the bookmark that you just made to quicksearch Wikipedia.
4) Edit the location field to say “http://www.google.com/search?q=%s%20site%3Aen.wikipedia.org&meta=&btnI” (note: this must be exact).
5) Test this method by typing, in the url bar, the keyword you assigned to this bookmark, followed by a space and the keyword you want to search Wikipedia for (e.g. “wiki Tech on edge”).

There you go, a “Smart bookmark” to always get your Wikipedia searches right (note: the more specific you are in your Wikipedia keywords, the more accurate the search will be, e.g. “wiki Mouse” will turn up the animal mouse, whereas “wiki Computer mouse” will turn up the mouse used on a computer, ergo, you don’t have to have the exact article name, unlike searching directly on wikipedia).
How does this work? Well, it searches Google for the keyword you type in after “wiki” (or whatever your keyword was), and automatically searches “I’m feeling lucky”! Brilliant.
