Bug #: 42070
Summary: Improve the search capabilities when searching for
media
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: History/Diffs
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: robert.ribn...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I recently searched for media (images) about "master race" on commons. Master
race is a concept going back to the 19th century, that "one race" is superior
to the others. Instead of what I wanted, I was given various images of "races",
so race-cars, drivers of race cars, bikes, ...
I therefore propose the following "search algorithm":
-First search for the phrase as it was entered
-Then search for modifications of the phrase (eg. all lowercase, ...)
-Then seearch for different parts of the phrase.
For each hit you get, you should keep track of which of the three cases it
originated from.
The UI can then be modified, to let the user "toggle" the different kind of
hits he gets. In addition, very basic stats could be displayed (as in: 15 hits
for case 1, 22 hits for case 2, and 200 hits for case 3).
