hello
I noticed that in the English version of wikipedia it is possible to do boolean searches, but in the German one it is disabled,
There should be no difference between English and German Wikipedias as far as how search works...
as it is in the mediaWiki I just installed for myself. I did some research about this, but everyone seems to be telling something different than the other guy.
Do you know how to enable boolean searches in mediaWiki? (maybe using the AND, NOT, OR syntax or the one with the plus, minus and tilde signs from mySQL)?
MediaWiki's default MySQL-based search is... a little funky. :)
I believe you can poke the escaping in SearchMysql4.php to let the + and - - chars etc through to work as in MySQL's documentation.
