#1443 wiki search can't find some pages
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by danw.

I was trying to find https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerIPv6 but I forgot the exact URI. So I searched for "IPv6" and it claimed "No page title matches". So then I searched for "NetworkManager" and got back 10 page title matches, but NOT including the page I was looking for. Then I gave up on search and went and found an email with the correct URL in it.


Where are you typing that search string in? It doesn't work for me.

If I go to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/, scroll down to the search box on the left side, type the string "IPv6" (without the quotes) into it, and press return, it takes me to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=IPv6&go=Go, which claims that there is only one page whose title matches the search string (Infrastructure/IPv6), which is not true, because https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerIPv6 exists as well. If I search for "!NetworkManager" (without the quotes or the WikiFormatting "!"), I get a bunch of matches, but still not the NetworkManagerIPv6 page.

I guess we're using the same search box. Please note the asterisk (*) before '''IPv6''', and the asterisk after '''!NetworkManager''' above for the search strings.

Default Wikipedia search options are also documented in the link posted.

oh... i see. that's confusing.
i guess you can call this NOTABUG if you want
