           Summary: Search engine hangs for certain keywords
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Normal
         Component: MWSearch
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: le.korri...@gmail.com


Since the new search engine (Lucene search 2.1 I think) has been activated on
fr.wikipedia, since yesterday in fact, some searches do return only a blanck
page (i.e. nothing at all even when purging the cache). When trying searching
with a slightly different URL but still with the same keyword, then a
"Wikimedia Foundation error" is returned saying:

"PHP fatal error in
/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.5/extensions/MWSearch/MWSearch_body.php
line 252: 
Call to a member function getNamespace() on a non-object"

This happens currently for the keywords "cinéma" (with accent) and
"français". See
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=cin%C3%A9ma&fulltext=Rechercher
or
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=fran%C3%A7ais&fulltext=Rechercher

These can be commonly-searched names.

Thanks
