What it does

Typing in the sidebar search box searches Wikipedia as you go — it waits 500ms after you stop typing and needs more than two characters — and each result shows a title, a short extract and a thumbnail
Clicking a result loads the full article in a reading pane on the right of the window
A bookmark toolbar button saves the current article to "Saved Pages"; a star toolbar button marks a saved page a favourite, and "Favorites" is a filtered view of the saved list
Right-clicking a saved page offers "Delete" and "Favorite"/"Unfavorite"; right-clicking a favourite offers "Remove from Favorites" and "Delete"
Saved pages are written to a JSON file on disk and also inserted into the app's shared memory index under a "wikipedia" namespace, so they turn up when you search across the app
An "Open in Browser" toolbar button hands the current article to your default browser

Open Wikipedia and type a topic into the search box at the top of the sidebar.
Click a result — the article loads in the pane on the right.
Click the bookmark icon in the toolbar to save it, then the star icon to mark it a favourite.
Switch the sidebar between "Saved Pages" and "Favorites" under the "Library" heading to see the two lists.

PlatformMemoryService — saved pages are inserted under a "wikipedia" namespace and are searchable from elsewhere in the app
MapGuide — both use the same WikipediaService client
