When you
insert a term you need to insert exactly that term to have just
"the one present page" as result (when using the button "Go"). When
using "search" instead often there's no result even if I know that this
term is there. And there seems to be no full-text-search in all pages.
Or is there something I am missing, something I don't know?
Full-text search is turned off for at least several hours a day. To
get around this on la.wikt I added a link in [[Mediawiki:Nogomatch]]
to list pages that link to the search query--if you are looking for a
key word and the article itself does not exist, it may be linked to in
an article that defines it by context or in translation.
I also put in, besides that and the option to create the article,
automatic links to what article the search term may have on en: pl:
nl: de: and fr:.
Looks like:
http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Nogomatch
In action:
http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Specialis:Search?search=absentia&go=Ire
Question: Would it make more sense to link to a search on the other
language wikis instead of the article directly?
Hi, I tried this out, but I am not quite sure to understand. You mean
that if I implement the same kind of page the search function
automatically returns the page with the results and the links to the
other wiktionaries above. This could be a solution.
Linking to other search results would be OK, but not to another search
window to be compiled - so if you think about a page that shows the
different search results on other wiktionaries I think this would be OK,
otherwise I prefer the link how you did it now.
