In WIKIPEDIA, what is the difference between GO and SEARCH ?

No major difference both have the same meaning which is to execute a search; kind of like on some microwaves there's a "go" and a "start" button.

There is no Difference.... WIKIPEDIA is just being dumb. LOL

same thing. example:look at the top of yahoo awnsers home page.theres a place where u can seach for questions.u click
SEARCH when u want it to GO.

"GO" will take you to the direct page, if it's on wikipedia.
"SEARCH" will search the articles.

brian is right
dont listen to them other fools

Well, Go, will take you to the direct page if there is one, but Search, shows you things in that category.

In a perfect world, Go would take you right to that article, so if you misspelled something, you'd get a blank page. But as it stands, misspell anything on Wikipedia and you're screwed, so no, there's really not much difference.

Go takes you directly to an article with that name if it exists. Search takes you to a set of search results. If no article exists with that name, they both do the same thing.

GO will take you to the direct page
SEARCH will search the articles.

Both are for searching.

If you use "go" and the exact article you typed exists, you will go straight to the article. If it doesn't exist, you'll see the same as if you use "search".

When you use "search", you will see a list of search results, even if an article exists with the exact title you searched for.

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Go_b... for more information.

same meaning.search means go ,go means search.like start.

There is no difference between the two. They are just two terms for the same thing. Like 'Standby' and 'Low Power', they don't mean anything different.

"GO" directs you to the exact page that you want to go to (if there is not an exact match then it goes to the most closely related article).

"SEARCH" will search the articles that are on wikipedia.

So overall the difference is:
Go - directs you to the article
Search - searches articles

When you click "GO", it will put you directly to the article while "Search" gives some similar articles

nothin

not much.

Go is directly to page, search is to look for matching pages
