I thought I'd see what the community thought about this useing a poll. I voted for the redesign which looks like it's going to win by a landslide.

The new design doesent look that different from the old one. Just a little more colour and one part rearanged a bit.

In case you are not aware of it, you can also add wikipedia to the firefox search menu by clicking on "add engines"

The wp method is a lot quicker. Also, it goes directly to the link instead of going to the search results.

I just type in "wikipedia something", and it just gets me there. :)

But that's double the work for your internet connection. First, it has to search on google, find and THEN redirect you. "wp something" goes directly to a wikipedia entry or wp's search page.
