Bug #: 29987
Summary: Weird behavior of [[Special:Search]]
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Search
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: mybugs.m...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
1) Go to [[Main Page]]
2) Type in the search box something like:
Just a test
3) Press ENTER, and you will be taken to the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Just+a+test
4) Click in the link "Help and Project pages" which takes you to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=Just%20a%20test&fulltext=Search&ns4=1&ns12=1&redirs=0
which shows "Results 1–20 of 21,183 for Just a test"
5) Click in the link to show "500" items (in the bottom of the page)
------------------------------------------------------------
View (previous 20 | next 20) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | [[500]])
------------------------------------------------------------
This will take you to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns4=1&ns12=1&redirs=1&search=Just+a+test&limit=500&offset=0
which shows "There were no results matching the query."
This is very weird because when the user clicks on "500" it expects to see
[[more results]], not [[less]] (and certainly not [[no results at all]])
Why is this happening?
