An "advanced search" page for CirrusSearch?
by Daniel Barrett 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

CirrusSearch has so many wonderful keywords for advanced searching: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch. Has anybody created an "advanced" search form (a special page) that uses these wonderful options under the hood, to help less sophisticated users? That would make a great addition to MediaWiki. For example: Enter your search terms: Limit to category: Limit to namespace: (dropdown) Search page titles only (yes/no): Approximate matching (on/off): Search within wikitext source (on/off): etc... I looked on mediawiki.org but didn't see anything. Thanks, DanB

Embedded login and account creation
by Ad Strack van Schijndel 01 Oct '15

Hi, Is there a way to embed the login and/or the account creation on normal pages? I would like to have the possibility to login in a sidebar as long as the user is anonymous. So that there are no extra clicks to login. I'm sure if there isn't, there is a very good reason for that and I would like to understand that reason. Ad
