What can I do if I want to know who is singer and actor ? Does the search engine implement boolean string ?
Before I found this site (Semantic MediaWiki), I tried to imagine another way to structure articles. Even if it is less ambitious, it is here (in French): http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Gloumouth1/Affiliation

Boolean Search is not implemented so far. But it is planned to do so using a semantic query language like RQL or - most probably - SPARQL[1]. You can find a comparision of existing Query-Languages and there Capabilities here (the Interesting Point for you might be Union and Difference). If you want to make a first try within such Languages I recommend OpenRDFs Demo Site and for SPARQL the Redland Site. SPARQL is very powerful, this Sudoku-Solver shows a good example for that :-).

For common users this Languages might be to complex to learn, so its also planned to provide a simple-to-use Query-Builder witch might look similar to the current Special:SearchTriple, but allows ie. also Searches (Queries) within the Search-Result. Another Possibility would be to develop own Query-Tools witch are Exporting the RDF from the Pages and makes Queries on that exported data.

Thanks a lot. Very interesting.

Do you know when those great ideas will be applied to the Wikipedia's MediaWiki ? Is it planed ? Are the MediaWiki developpers open minded in this field ?
