The latest update to the Wikipedia app (bit.ly/Wiki) added a new feature that lets you search for the name of a person, place or movie in Wikipedia without opening the app. You can use this feature within any app on your device. Tap and hold the first word (of the longer term) that you want to search for. After the word has been selected, tap the sliders to select the entire term (full name of the person, place or film, for example).

Now tap the share icon (which should be at the top or bottom), then swipe through the list of options and tap

Search Wikipedia. You’ll see a list of related entries within the Wikipedia app. Tap the one you want to read.
