I'm looking for a simple javascript editor, much like the one i'm using to type this message. I've tried searching (and i wondered why starting to ask a question shows much better search results than just searching) and have come up with a few results, none of them relevant.

I just need a very simple editor, that displays text as <p>, has a way to insert links, and allows me to display html tags in the text rather than making them get parsed.
The editors that I've seen so far all have a rich feature set and more functions than i would ever want, or want to learn to use.

The simple editor you see around is always TinyMCE in some dumbed down form.

Alternatives are xinha and ckeditor

They both usually sport more functionality, but maybe they suit your taste better.

Wikipedia/Mediawiki should be using MeanEditor if that's what you're after.
They also offer pointers to other similar editors in various stages of production.

The one used to type this message is a custom version of WMD. I've used tinymce and although it does have a lot of features, you can specify which buttons to include in the configuration, so you can only have those few if you want.

(As to why asking gives you better search results: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20432/related-questions-in-ask-question-page-is-better-than-search-tool)
