User reviews

I swear if this works... I'll edit this review to say that Edit: that only took 20 seconds. Ill be a son of gun that worked. Well, for anyone doubting... it works. Not just the first result, no, literally what what the name implies. After you search, the Wikipedia page for what you might be searching for - is literally on top. Even over ads, Wikipedia is on top. The first thing you see on the the page for search results, usually IS an ad, but - this time it's Wiki directly above those. Excellent work devs, excellent work!
