Hello,
The search-as-you-type completion suggester, which powers the search function at the top right of every page (or in the sidebar in Monobook), can now be configured at Special:Preferences. The default setting includes our most recent improvements to search while the new options make it easy to restrict the completion suggester. This is useful when searching for specific text in search queries. A description of the preferences can be found on MediaWiki.org [0] or inline at Special:Preferences. Feedback and questions are welcome. [1]
