I've been doing something similar with a bookmark bar Javascript. I use the Search, instead of appending the name of the article, in case I don't have the title quite right.

I just create a new bookmark and edit the URL to the following:

javascript:a=prompt(%22Search%22);d=document;d.location.href=%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%22%20+%20a%20+%20%22&go=Go%22;
