Our users have requested a way to limit a search to articles within a category.

Before trying to build this as an extension, are there any plans for core MediaWiki to offer this basic& useful capability? Say, on each category page, displaying a search box to "search this category only?"
Longstanding feature request: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2285
Not currently implemented in core with default MySQL search, though the Lucene search engine can do this (with limitations).
