"WikiTaxi" is a simple program that converts the Wikipedia XML dumps (available online - dumps.wikimedia.org/idwiki/latest/ ) into a searchable offline database that you can carry on your USB stick. The Wikipedia backup dumps are available in different sizes (with or without images) and various languages, you can choose the format that fits your needs (and disk space). Once you have imported your Wikipedia dump file, you can use the WikiTaxi interface to perform keyword searches and view the results with the built-in browser.
WikiTaxi enables you to read, search, and browse Wikipedia offline. No Internet connection is needed, all pages are stored in a WikiTaxi database. Because Wikipedia is constantly growing, WikiTaxi uses compression to make sure that the database stays reasonably small. The huge English Wikipedia easily fits on a 8 GB memory stick.
