When "Go" doesn't work, try "Search"

Wikipedia's search box has two buttons: Go and Search. Go will take you right to the page having the title you typed in, if it exists. Sometimes you'll get an article you didn't expect, such as the Mexican State of Chihuahua instead of the breed of dog of the same name. Usually, there will be a special note at the top of the page that says something like For other uses of the term, see Chihuahua (disambiguation). If there is no such message, go back one page using your browser's back button, and hit Wikipedia's Search button. In this example, Chihuahua (dog) shows up as the 17th entry in the search results list.
