Wikipedia Look-Up

Wikipedia Look-Up is a handy little app made for the Adobe Air platform. This tool lets you quickly check out info from Wikipedia articles without even opening your web browser! All the details pop up in its own window, which is super convenient. Plus, it’s not packed with complicated features, making it perfect for everyone.

Getting Started with Wikipedia Look-Up

You’ll need to have Adobe Air installed first to get this tool running. Even though it hasn’t been updated for a while, we’ve tested it and found that it works just fine with the latest version of Adobe Air. Setting it up is quick and easy since there are no tricky options involved.

User-Friendly Interface

The app shows a small panel with a clean design where all you have to do is type in the topic you want information on and hit the button to get results. Just a heads up: pressing the Enter key won’t work here!

Fast Article Searches

Finding Wikipedia articles is a breeze! If there’s any confusion about similar topics, the app will automatically load the first relevant article it finds. You can open links and use Wikipedia’s search function right inside the app without needing to leave its interface.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

However, there aren’t any buttons for navigating webpages, and hotkeys don’t work either. If you want to start a new search from scratch, you’ll need to close and reopen Wikipedia Look-Up.

Smooth Performance

Our tests showed that this program runs smoothly without making Adobe Air freeze or crash. It uses very little CPU and RAM too, so it won't slow down your system.

A Simple Solution for Quick Access

Even though wikipedia look-up doesn’t come with many fancy options or settings, it's still a straightforward way to find what you’re looking for on Wikipedia based on your search topic.
