The real text is stored in the table text, or in some location pointed from there. Don't access the table directly! You must create a Title, from which you instantiate an Article object and call getContent() to retrieve its text. > In the 'searchindex' table, the 'si_text' contains the u800 unicode > character. > > -What does u800 really means? > -What does u800 do? > -What does u800 represents? A character outside of ascii which are escaped so mysql search can find it. It's an implementation detail, you shouldn't touch the searchindex table unless you're creating a search extension (also note that if the wiki uses a search extension instead of the default mysql search, searchindex will be empty). _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
