[Search wiki] Scale of Search wiki

[jer]

What kind of tools (either part of or outside of the miniarticles)  
would help?

I've always thought that a simple +keyword or -keyword utility within  
the MA might be a useful tool, where one-click would expand or  
contract your immediate search.  Any other ideas along those lines  
that could help reduce the namespace issues and become more useful?
