Okay I downloaded my first Metro UI app tonight which is Wikipedia. I'm used this app on Android and iOS. But for the life of me, I can't find its search feature. So is the Wikipedia app half-baked? Or is there some common gesture to bring up a search box in Metro UI?

Okay I figured it out. The search is integrated with the charm bar on the right. Not sure that I prefer the design. But at least it works...

Whats the difference between the regular site and the app. Can you make edits on the app or no. I am thinking of getting it but if its very limiting I'll just stick to using the website.

Now my Wikipedia app crashes just after opening it. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it, but it still crashes. Oh well! :confused:

Here is the error message from the event viewer:
App WikimediaFoundation.Wikipedia_54ggd3ev8bvz6!App did not launch within its allotted time.
