As an experiment I've added snippets of Wikipedia content to the
iSpecies results. If iSpecies finds an article in Wikipedia it
displays the first 100 words form the article, plus a link to the
article itself. It's a bit crude, and parsing Wikimedia output is
painful, but I think it adds to the results. I'd welcome any feedback.
Regards
Rod
