Ability to make efficient searches is so important to knowledge stores that I am in favour of upgrading the importance of this issue from "low". I have moved it to "normal" - hope I am not acting out of turn, imo it should be even higher. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Aside storing and handling of data, the second most needed functionality for a wiki is the search. Having only one input field for handling such an important task might solve the need for a majority (handling a simple search term) but certainly is a challenge for more advanced users trying to find what they are looking for. Any larger website (EBSCO, ProQuest etc.) that handles certain amount of information has advanced search input features. A user can choose to limit the search term not by remembering a specific search syntax but by selecting options that allow a fine grained search functionality. Extensions like SphinxSearch or Lucene could use those inputs to direct the search and hopefully increase usability for the user and accuracy of the search result. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
