User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-1649337-20120426160904

I think you should make it like monobook has: One button for going directly to the page, one button for searching. Then people who want to search can search, people who want to go to the page if it exists, can do that, and wikis that dislike one of the options, can hide the button with CSS or JS in the MediaWiki common.js and wikia.css pages. Or, just make it another wikialabs or WikiFeatures thing that wikis can enable it if they want, but aren't forced to have it.

This is maybe useful for wikis without proper navigation and disambiguation pages, but for big wikis, this is really annoying. We spent long enough making disambiguation pages, so people will find what they are looking for, even if they land on the wrong page in the first place. And human-added disambiguation pages are always more accurate and related than searchengine-generated links.
