Wikipedia's search box has two buttons: '''Go''' and '''Search'''.  '''Go''' will take you right to the article you typed in, if it exists.  Sometimes you'll get an article you didn't expect, such as the Mexican State of [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] instead of the breed of dog of the same name.  Usually, there will be a special note at the top of the page that says something like ''For other uses of the term, see [[Chihuahua (disambiguation)]].''  If there is no such message, go back one page using your browser's backtrack button, and hit Wikipedia's '''Search''' button.  In this example, [[Chihuahua (dog)]] shows up as the 17th entry in the search results list.
