Zenit-Wiki Search by Ezadkiel Marbella:

CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
 name: "zenit/wiki specific search:",
 takes: {"search zenit/wiki term": noun_arb_text},
 preview: function( pblock, wikiquery ) {
   pblock.innerHTML = "Will Search For: " + wikiquery.text;
 },
 execute: function( wikiquery ) {
  var url = "http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Special:Search?search={QUERY}&go=Go"
  var query = wikiquery.text;
  var urlString = url.replace("{QUERY}", query);
  Utils.openUrlInBrowser(urlString);
 }
})

This is my submission. I am assuming we are encouraged to reuse code wherever possible. When using the search it is recommended that you separate the terms by + signs as that is what the goggle interface inserts between search terms. I found that it works when spaces are used as well though.
