SphinxSearch was installed in August 2012. It operates in a way that is similar to Wikipedia's search. If a search term is absolutely unique, Sphinx will take you directly to the article with that name. Otherwise, you may see a list of articles that contain that search term. In a few cases such as "Path," the search will take you to a disambiguation page where you can select the relevant article.

Articles can also be located by using their exact names and through the categories. Another point of access is in the Special pages listed in the the column at the far left. It leads to the option All pages, which names all the articles (pages) in the wiki. Note that this is an alphabetical listing and following the letter Z are names of articles that begin with certain special diacritical markings such as Sanskrit letters Ā and Ś.
