I also use ido. And I use the following function to open one of my
wiki pages in ~/data/wiki:

When called with a prefix argument, grep is used to search for a keyword:

(defun xsteve-open-wiki-page (arg)
  "Either open a wiki page via ido, or grep for a string in the wiki pages."
  (interactive "P")
  (let* ((default-directory "~/data/wiki")
         (grep-cmd (format "cd %s && grep -n -i --directories=skip" 
default-directory))
         (file-glob "*"))
    (if arg
        (grep (concat grep-cmd " -e \"" (read-string (format "Search %s for 
regexp: " default-directory)) "\" " file-glob))
      (ido-find-file))))
(global-set-key [(meta f12)] 'xsteve-open-wiki-page)
