How do i add Wikipedia Search to Google Chrome?

I have tried to use instructions on this website, "http://google-chrome-tips.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-add-wikipedia-search-engine-to.html" but it did not work.

I have other search engines in my Google Chrome options which worked well (e.g. I can type youtube in the address bar and press TAB and the youtube search came out). I could not do the same for wikipedia search..

Thanks

I didn't know about using tab, but if you type in wikipedia.org [space] [search terms] it works for me.

i've found the solution. just changed the keywords to a shorter one such as "wik" .
Thread close.

Just FYI, I use single letters for this so that I only have to do a "^L w foofooberry" to search wikipedia for "foofooberry."
