Same seemed to result from searching the UA MP forum itself.

I could search the Wiki using my browser search function - which worked fine, but if I'm right about this limitation, it might be useful to have Wikis part of the embedded search universe.

If I'm wrong - disregard, and sorry for wasting time.
Wikiposts are supported by the standard Mediawiki software and are not truly part of the thread, which exists in the VBulletin software that powers the forum. Thus, a search on the VB forum will not search the wikipost.
